Real Madrid, seeking their 15th European crown, faces Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final at London’s Wembley Stadium on Saturday.
Dortmund hopes to win the competition for the second time, but Madrid’s experience and talent, including Jude Bellingham, may prove too strong. Bellingham, a 20-year-old English midfielder, has shone for Madrid, scoring 23 goals and winning La Liga’s Player of the Season award. He could become the first Englishman to win the Ballon d’Or since Michael Owen in 2001. Meanwhile, Jadon Sancho returns to his hometown, playing for Dortmund against his former club, Manchester United.
Sancho has revitalized his career at Dortmund, starring in their semi-final win over Paris Saint-Germain. The final promises to be an exciting showdown between two talented teams.
