JUDE BELLINGHAM will take centre stage at Wembley as Real Madrid’s latest superstar, but it is also the experience within their ranks which makes Borussia Dortmund huge underdogs.
Veterans Luka Modric, Nacho and Dani Carvajal can all win the trophy with Real for a sixth time.
Toni Kroos, 34, (inset right) will be playing his final club game, as he retires after the Euros, and he has won four with the Spanish giants and got a medal when Bayern Munich lifted the European Cup in 2013, even though he missed the final through injury.
That know-how is the reason why, even when they face difficult moments, Real have an inner strength to make them believe they can turn any situation around.
They were losing to Bayern Munich with two minutes to go in the semi-final and yet found a way to win as two-goal hero Joselu turned it around that night at the Bernabeu.
There is an air of invincibility around Real in the Champions League. They have won the trophy 14 times and have not lost a European final since 1983 when Alex Ferguson’s Aberdeen beat them in the Cup Winners’ Cup.
