When Real Madrid plays Borussia Dortmund at Wembley on June 1, they will be aiming for their 15th UEFA Champions League crown.
Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao, Carlo Ancelotti’s defensive tandem, are back for this eagerly anticipated match.
When the new month begins, both should be available for selection against Borussia Dortmund.
According to MARCA, one of them is probably going to start in Ancelotti’s ideal starting lineup in the Champions League final.
Expected lineup for Real Madrid versus Dortmund
Real Madrid fans have been debating who will start in goal lately, with many believing that Courtois will start over Andriy Lunin due to his return.
Ancelotti will use Courtois in goal and seems to have similar ideas. Antonio Rudiger will lead a disciplined defensive line that will assist the Belgian.
In center defense, the German international will be teamed with veteran Nacho Fernandez, particularly since Aurelien Tchouameni is out of the UCL final.
Dani Carvajal and Ferland Mendy are anticipated to play fullback elsewhere.
Toni Kroos is a guaranteed starter in midfield because of his leadership qualities and experience. His capacity to command the game could also be vital for Real Madrid.
In the defensive midfield position, Eduardo Camavinga will accompany Kroos, and Federico Valverde will take on the role of an offensive enforcer, attempting to cause havoc in the final third.
In the last third, Valverde’s job is to provide offensive players like Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior with food.
Jude Bellingham, a former BVB starlet and outstanding player for Real Madrid, looks to be providing creative support for both Brazilians as they very certainly start against Dortmund in the closing third.
Bellingham, who left Dortmund in the summer, will be playing against his old team for the first time. He will emerge as one of Real Madrid’s most crucial players at Wembley given his performance this season.
