Borussia Dortmund’s journey to the 2024 UEFA Champions League final has provided a significant boost for the team, as stated by star striker Marco Reus. Despite facing record Champions League winners Real Madrid, so much energy and positive moments have been collected by the team, according to Reus.

For Real Madrid, a Champions League final might seem like business as usual, and they might be less nervous as they are used to competition at this top level, said the Dortmund striker. But that is not how you win a final. It is the day’s performance that determines the winner. The former German international added that he is incredibly ambitious to end his time in Dortmund with a victory at Wembley.

The 34-year-old Reus, who played in his first Champions League final in 2013 during his debut season with Borussia Dortmund, is now full of anticipation at the prospect of closing this chapter of his career with another final.

It feels like a circle is closing, starting in 2013 and culminating in the 2024 final ahead of my farewell, he reflected. After twelve years in the Black and Yellow shirt, Reus will be departing but intends to continue his career in one of Germany’s neighboring countries due to family reasons. Dortmund acknowledges the exceptional quality of its opponent. They have enormous quality as a team and individually, Reus acknowledged.
