In the early morning of May 12, Beijing time, La Liga and the Bundesliga played a number of games respectively, Real Madrid defeated Granada 4-0 away, Dortmund lost 0-3 to Mainz away, and the Champions League final opponents Real Madrid and Dortmund performed differently.

Real Madrid have already won the La Liga title this season ahead of schedule, and the Spanish Football Federation originally wanted to award Real Madrid the championship trophy in this round of competition, but Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti refused. With Granada's relegation only theoretically possible, Carlo Ancelotti does not want to rub salt into his opponent's wounds and prefers to lift the trophy in the next round of La Liga at home to Alaves.

Carlo Ancelotti made a 10-man rotation of his starting line-up from the second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich in his previous game, with the likes of Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr. given a rest, with only centre-back Antonio Rudiger continuing to start. However, there was still a huge disparity between the two sides, with left-back Garcia and winger Güller scoring in the first half, and midfielder Dias netting twice in the second half to give Real Madrid a resounding victory and Granada relegated three rounds to go.

After the game, Carlo Ancelotti was inevitably asked about Mbappe's joining Real Madrid, but before the official announcement of Mbappe's arrival, Ancelotti was cautious: "(Mbappe's future) is not a topic for me to consider, our whole team is focused on preparing for the Champions League final on June 1 (early morning of June 2, Beijing time). ”

Mbappe has officially announced his departure from Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season, and his contract with Grand Paris expires on June 30, so he can leave on a free transfer. Mbappe did not get along well with the president of the club, Al-Nassr, and in his departure statement, he thanked almost everyone in the club, including the previous managers, but did not mention him. Mbappe's next stop will be Real Madrid, which has become an open secret, and the suspense remains only when Real Madrid will be officially announced.

Dortmund just won two 1-0 in the Champions League semi-finals to Mbappe-led Paris, allowing "Mr. Mbappe" to miss the opportunity to face his future club Real Madrid in the Champions League final. Back in the Bundesliga this round, Dortmund is busy giving gifts to "relative" Mainz, and because they have already locked the Champions League ticket for next season in advance, Dortmund is unwilling to waste energy in the Bundesliga. Borussia Dortmund boss Tercizi made all the substitutes in the starting line-up and suffered a 3-0 defeat to Mainz, Dortmund gave their opponents a crucial three points in their fight for relegation. World class coach Jurgen Klopp had a glorious time at Borussia Dortmund from 2008 to 2015, and he coached Mainz before he took charge of Dortmund, and Dortmund is probably grateful to Mainz for nurturing Klopp's coaching ability.
