In the early hours of June 2nd, Real Madrid and Dortmund will battle for the Champions League title at Wembley Stadium. Former Real Madrid player Christian Karembeu, in an interview with German media outlet Sport Buzzer, said Dortmund’s lack of pressure could actually give them an opportunity to win.
Karembeu said: “Real Madrid are undoubtedly the favorites, after all, they haven’t lost a Champions League final since 1981. This season Real Madrid has had its ups and downs, but in the last two months, they have been almost unstoppable.”
“It’s true that Real Madrid has quite a few injured players, but Carlo Ancelotti always manages to put together a confident and stable team. You can’t help but feel that nothing can break this team.”
“Many were surprised by Dortmund reaching the Champions League final, nobody expected them to go this far. But think about it, Dortmund beat Atlético Madrid in the quarter-finals and knocked out PSG in the semi-finals, the final spot was certainly deserved. In this match, Dortmund will definitely be the underdogs, but I think they may be more comfortable in this role.”
“Not being favored means they have much less pressure to bear, and they can play with more freedom. Before the semi-finals, many people thought Dortmund would be easily eliminated, but they were proven wrong.”
“I think Dortmund will enjoy their current position as ‘underdogs,’ they won’t mind it, and that’s exactly their chance to pull off an upset. After all, Dortmund has nothing to lose.”
