It’s that time of the year once again! Real Madrid, who are no stranger to winning UEFA Champions League, will face Borussia Dortmund at the Wembley Stadium in England. Real Madrid, who are aiming for a record 15th UCL, have a lot of pedigree when it comes to UCL nights. Dortmund, on the other hand, has been on steady path upwards. They will be looking to cause a major upset in the final.
The game will see a host of big game players that have the knack to turning up in games. Ahead of the UCL final, let’s take a look at three players that are likely to have say in the game.
Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid)
In his first season at the Santiago Bernabeu, Bellingham has taken La Liga by storm, tallying an amazing 19 goals and 6 assists in just 28 league games. After helping Real Madrid win their 36th La Liga title, the 20-year-old’s outstanding play has not gone unnoticed, and the midfielder is now firmly in the running for this year’s coveted Ballon d’Or award.
Toni Kroos (Real Madrid)
Few players have the ability to impact a game from midfield like Kroos does, and the UCL final will be his last game for Real Madrid. His incredible passing range and creativity were demonstrated once again in the semi-final by his goal-bound pass to Vinicius Junior. Kroos will have to exploit the Dortmund defense in a close game, and he is more than capable of doing so.

Niclas Fullkrug (Borussia Dortmund)
Although he may not be as showy as former Dortmund greats Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Robert Lewandowski, Fullkrug will spearhead the attack for the Bundesliga team. He gets the job done. In 41 games this season, the 31-year-old has scored 15 goals, including 3 in the Champions League. His hold-up play in a game that might be decided by narrow margins will undoubtedly cause problems for the Real Madrid defense.
