Brazilian football legend Rivaldo has expressed his support for Borussia Dortmund to defeat Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League final.
The highly anticipated match is set to take place on Saturday evening at Wembley Stadium in London.
Rivaldo believes that the German Bundesliga club possesses the confidence needed to overcome the LaLiga champions. Both Dortmund and Real Madrid secured their spots in the final by defeating Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich, respectively, in the semifinals.
In a statement to Betfair, Rivaldo remarked, “A few weeks ago, I predicted a Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund final, and I got it right. However, I also said the champions would be Borussia. I think Madrid are favourites, for sure, but Borussia are coming with so much belief. They know how to play this competition, they know how to handle difficult games. We saw it in the two games they played against PSG, winning both legs.”
He concluded, “Yes, Real Madrid are the favourites, but I’m still backing Borussia Dortmund to be crowned champions.”
