Germany and Borussia Dortmund dream of the German team defeating Real Madrid in the Champions League final this Saturday at Wembley. Fans in black and yellow hope to see a repeat of the 1997 triumph.

That year, Borussia Dortmund became the champions of Europe after defeating Juventus 3-1 in the final.

This season marks the only European Cup win for the German team, which only in 1997 achieved the goal that Edin Terzic's squad will fight for in London against Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid.

On its website, the Bundesliga dedicated a detailed article this Friday comparing the current Borussia Dortmund team to that of 1997. "Certain parallels with the current season cannot be dismissed," noted the Bundesliga.

An element that has not escaped those following Saturday's event closely is that, both in 1997 and 2024, Borussia Dortmund did not enter the final as the favorites, a role that the Germans were happy to leave to their rivals.
