The Champions League final battle between Modric and Nacho, Royce’s fairy tale and Joselu’s dream
In the return match with Bayern (2:1), Real made another incredible comeback and booked a place in the final. In London, Madrid will meet Borussia, for which, it seems, all neutral spectators will worry. In addition to the charming status of an underdog, Dortmund has a trump card in the person of Marco Reus – his possible triumph in the Champions League in his last game for the club attracts many. Do not miss accurate football predictions for free of the final game.
But many want to worry about Madrid no less: the team has even more inspiring heroes who also deserve victory in the main European Cup.
Blancos were minutes away from being eliminated from the Champions League, but the situation was turned around by an unexpected hero – 34-year-old Joselu, who appeared only in the 81st minute with the score 0:1. The veteran scored a brace in three minutes and gave Madrid their 18th Champions League final in history. The Spaniard became the oldest scorer of two goals in the Champions League playoffs after coming on as a substitute – no one expected this from him. Perhaps even himself.
The last chord for many
Joselu’s story is truly inspiring. The forward is a sincere Real Madrid fan: just two years ago, he went as a spectator to the Champions League final in Paris, where Madrid beat Liverpool (1:0), and after being offered to sign a contract, he burst into tears of happiness. The Spaniard ideally took advantage of the opportunity that fell and during the year of his loan made his wildest dreams of a career at the Santiago Bernabeu come true. He has already become the champion of Spain, and now he can win the Champions League, dragging the team to the final. And how can you not worry about him?
For Carlo Ancelotti, this is the sixth Champions League final in his career. For Real Madrid – the sixth in 11 years. Usually they don’t like hegemons, but thanks to such heroes, the club’s victories don’t get boring.
One match – and so many unique stories! The coolest football and a flurry of emotions are guaranteed at Wembley: from absolute happiness to drama and tears.
