Playing in a Champions League final is one of the most complicated games there is, there are few players who can say that they have reached one, and even fewer who have won it, so every year, there are usually some debutants in this aspect. . Teams like Real Madrid, Liverpool, or Bayern have generally populated the last continental finals, but there have also been teams like Tottenham, PSG, or Inter Milan that had not played any in recent years, and in this In this case, experience can be an important degree to face a moment like that.
Therefore, we are going to review the players of this edition who are going to debut, and even more so taking into account that we have a team like Borussia Dortmund that has not reached the final since the 12/13 season:
The German team is a team that could be said to be completely new from the one that played in the final in 2013, since of the entire squad, only two players have been able to remain, and they are Hummels and Reus. In addition to them, only two others know what it is like to be in a Champions League final, and luckily win it, such as Sule and Emre Can, although in this case the second was 19 years old and did not play a single minute. , so the experience lies in just three players.
Therefore we could say that the entire squad is new in this aspect, from 10 of the 11 starters, to almost the entire bench, and that is something that can work against them as it already happened to them the other time, against a team with much more experience in situations like this.
Real Madrid has a squad very similar to the one it had in the last Champions League final just 2 years ago, so there will be few debutants for the Spanish team in a scenario like this. And although it may seem unimportant, Real Madrid has proven on thousands of occasions why they are the best team in this competition, and experience is a big part of it. In the same semi-final they have just come back as always in injury time to make the epic that they like so much.
Therefore, and on the part of the white team, the debutants for a Champions final will be: Joselu, Arda Güler, Brahim Díaz, Jude Bellingham and Fran García.
