This season's Champions League has come to an end, and Dortmund are the first to enter the final, waiting for Real Madrid and Bayern Munich to win. The final will be held at Wembley Stadium in England, which was the venue for the final 11 years ago, and the three elements at that time were only Bayern, will history repeat itself?
Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain face each other for the fourth time this season. In the Champions League group stage, Dort and Paris are in the same group, along with AC Milan and Newcastle, known as the "Group of Death". Although Paris faced Dort, with one win and one draw, it was Dort who qualified from the group one round earlier, and Paris could only qualify after the final round.
In the semi-finals, the two teams met again, but the result was completely different, with Dort winning by a narrow goal at home and away, and the two wins seemed to be very easy. However, Paris Saint-Germain hit the woodwork with a total of six shots in the two defeats, and it was a pity that they didn't score a goal, and Enrique could only use exaggerated body language on the sidelines to express his surprise and bad luck. Mbappe, who may leave the team after the season, will greatly weaken the strength of Paris, and it will become quite difficult to go further in the Champions League in the future.
This is the third time Dortmund have reached the final of the Champions League, beating Juventus in the mid-90s to win their only Champions League trophy. Eleven years ago, Dort advanced to the final again, but lost to fellow Bayern Munich and could only be relegated to second place. One championship and one runner-up is the report card handed over by Dortmund in the history of the Champions League.
Interestingly, the final 11 years ago was played at Wembley Stadium in the same place as this season. For a final, the two sides, as well as the venue of the final, are the three major elements of the game, and if history can be replicated, the three elements are only Bayern.
Historically, Wembley Stadium has hosted seven finals, although Real Madrid have won the title 14 times, but have never won the trophy here, but Barcelona, who won the game twice at Wembley Stadium, is the most successful team in the stadium's Champions League final. The other five, two of which belonged to England's Manchester United and Liverpool, also included AC Milan, Ajax and Bayern Munich. In other words, among the top four teams today, only Bayern has the experience of winning the championship at Wembley.
In the German derby held at Wembley Stadium, Dortmund's strength was not weak, the coach was the now famous Klopp, Mandzukic took the lead for Bayern, and then JD Gunn calmly took the penalty to equalize the score, and Robben's goal in the 89th minute gave Bayern the final victory, and Dort could only win the league and Champions League double runners-up.
Hummels and Reuss were eyewitnesses of the game, while Bayern also had Neuer and Muller. If Bayern can beat Real Madrid, the two teams will meet again and will surely become a good story in the history of the Champions League. It is not easy for the team of the same country to meet in the final, and it is still twice, and there are many of the same players at the same time, only Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have met twice in three years, which can be compared.
Perhaps, Leverkusen, the new champion of the Bundesliga, would like to see the Champions League meet between two German teams, which means that Leverkusen, who cannot participate in the Champions League, can beat the Champions League champions and runners-up and finally win the championship, and the "gold content" of this championship will be greatly improved.
