UEFA Champions League on Channel 9 – The best club football team in Europe will be crowned when Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund meet in the UEFA Champions League Final, live and free on 9Go! on Sunday, June 2, from 4.15am.
This mouthwatering final pits two giants of world football against each other, where the champion will be crowned at London’s historic Wembley Stadium for a record eighth time.
In a David and Goliath match-up, 14-time European champions Real Madrid – who have the most titles in UEFA history – face German Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund, who are out to cause an upset.
Real Madrid are heavy favourites after a season of dominance, both at home where they cruised to another Spanish La Liga title, and in Europe, storming to the Champions League final. They are driven by standout stars Vinicius Jr and Toni Kroos, alongside Jude Bellingham in his first season at Real Madrid after ironically transferring from their Champions League rival.
Dortmund are UEFA’s Cinderella story. Despite finishing fifth in the Bundesliga, they need to defeat Real Madrid in order to return for next season’s UEFA competition. On their path to Wembley they have conquered top-tier teams including Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid and AC Milan.
Covering all the action will be host Max Rushden alongside Socceroos legends and expert commentators Mark Bosnich, and Craig Foster.
Joining Foster live from London will be legendary football commentator Martin Tyler, for special guest comments throughout the broadcast.
English Premier League winner Mark Bosnich said:
“It’s the underdogs versus the top dogs when Borussia Dortmund meet Real Madrid.
“Dortmund have one previous title, in 1997, and Real Madrid have a record 14 titles. The contrasts could not be more stark, but the black and yellow have a chance to pull off a famous upset against the Kings of Europe.”
Bozza’s fun facts:
- Jude Bellingham signed for Real Madrid from Dortmund at the start of the season for $147 million and has scored 23 goals with 12 assists from 41 games in all competitions.
- Dortmund will be playing in their third final. The last one was also at Wembley in 2013 where they lost 1-2 to Bayern Munich.
Lenny Kravitz will be the pre-match entertainment for the UEFA final.
