The Champions League final between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund takes place tonight at Wembley Stadium.

Los Blancos may win their 15th European title after a thrilling semi-final victory over Bayern Munich, while BVB are aiming for a second triumph on probably the biggest stage in club football after defeating Kylian Mbappe and PSG in the last four.

Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham are among the candidates for this year’s Ballon d’Or, knowing that a win here, along with a strong performance, might swing the balance in their favour ahead of Euro 2024 and the Copa America this summer.
