The 2024 UEFA Champions League final will bring us a can’t-miss showdown between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, June 1, at Wembley in London, England. Needless to say, all eyes will be on this event.
Los Blancos arrive in this game as huge favorites considering their track record of success in the European competition, boasting an impressive 15 European Cup/Champions League titles — more than any other club.
