Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund are to face off in the Champions League final in three weeks’ time, after last-four wins over Bayern Munich and PSG.
After completing semi-final wins over Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, respectively, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund will meet in the 2024 UEFA Champions League final.
On Wednesday, Madrid pulled off a sensational late comeback to knock out Bayern and reach their ninth final in the Champions League era.
Following a 2-2 draw in last week’s first leg in Munich, Bayern took an aggregate lead when Alphonso Davies rifled in a powerful effort with just over 20 minutes remaining at the Bernabéu.
However, Madrid substitute Joselu Mato scored in the 88th and 91st minutes to send Los Blancos into the final, where they will have the opportunity to lift a record-extending 15th European title.
On Tuesday, underdogs Dortmund dumped PSG out in the last four, as Mats Hummels’ second-half header in Paris earned the Germans a 2-0 aggregate victory over their bigger-name opponents.
Champions League winners in 1997, Dortmund will be appearing in their third final in Europe’s top men’s club competition, having lost the showpiece event to Bayern Munich in 2013.
BVB will come up against former star Jude Bellingham, who left Signal Iduna Park for Madrid for an initial €103 million ($110 million) transfer fee last summer.
This season’s UEFA Champions League final will be played on Saturday 1 June 2024, with London’s Wembley Stadium the venue for the game. Kick-off in the UK capital is scheduled for 3pm ET/12 noon PT.
