Borussia Dortmund legend, Roman Weidenfeller has come out to tip his former side to cause an upset against Real Madrid in the Champions League final. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, it is Borussia Dortmund’s turn to be UCL champions, and he sees them doing it against a great club like Real Madrid because they play freely.
Roman added that BvB might not be seen as the favorite tomorrow, but this is their big chance.
His words, “Because now it’s Borussia Dortmund’s turn. They can play completely freely. [Madrid] is an absolute title machine, especially in the Champions League. Dortmund is not seen as the favorite. This is their big chance.”
To some extent, luck is also a factor. A solid team effort is needed. You can’t give Real any room – just like in the semi-finals against Paris [Saint-Germain]. You can’t let the individual class of the Madrid players, such as Vinicius Junior, come to the fore. Then you have a chance.”
WOW.
Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, commonly referred to as Real Madrid, is a Spanish professional football club based in Madrid. The club competes in La Liga, the top tier of Spanish football.
Real Madrid has maintained the white shirt for its home kit throughout the history of the club. There was, however, one season that the shirt and shorts were not both white. It was an initiative undertaken by Juan Padrós in honor of an English team Corinthian F.C., which he had met on one of his trips, one of the most famous teams at the time known for its elegance and sportsmanship.
It was under Florentino Pérez’s first presidency (2000–2006) that Real Madrid started its ambition of becoming the world’s richest professional football club. The club ceded part of its training grounds to the city of Madrid in 2001, and sold the rest to four corporations: Repsol YPF, Mutua Automovilística de Madrid, Sacyr Vallehermoso and OHL.
Hala Madrid is a magazine published quarterly for the Real Madrid club members and the Madridistas Fan Club card holders. The phrase Hala Madrid, meaning “Forward Madrid” or “Go Madrid”, is also the title of the club’s official anthem, which is often sung by the Madridistas (the club’s fans).
