Borussia Dortmund enter today’s Champions League final with a chance to become just the eighth club with multiple titles since 1990. The only thing standing in their way? Real Madrid, the most successful outfit in Champions League history–winners of 14 titles overall and five in the last decade alone. It’s a fascinating contrast in what is undoubtedly one of the biggest single-game events in all of sports. Madrid, the historical powerhouse who ran away with another La Liga title this year, up against Dortmund, the fiery underdogs who stumbled to fifth in Bundesliga. It’s no surprise that Carlo Ancelotti’s squad is seen as huge favorites on Saturday at Wembley, but all of that can be thrown out the window in a game like this. When it comes down to it, both teams are 90 minutes away from the sport’s ultimate prize. Here’s how to watch the Champions League final.
