The most popular of the 6 ‘beginners’ is Jude Bellingham, the British star of the ‘merengue’ team. Together with him Fran GarcÃa, Brahim DÃaz, Arda Güler, Mario MartÃn, and Joselu Mato. The latter, with the position very well earned, as he is responsible for his team playing in a new final of the tournament. On the other hand, there are 18 footballers who already know what it is to play in a final.
The contrast with Dortmund
On the other side, the situation is totally different: only four of the squad have played in a Champions League final, two have won it and only one participated in the final with the winning team. Niklas Süle, with the Bayern Munich In 2020, he came in as a substitute and ended up being crowned champion by the slightest difference.

The other champion, but who did not participate in the final match, is Emre Can, who was present in the 2012 final with Bayern Munich that ended up losing to Chelsea. However, in 2013, although he was only called up for one match in the group stage, he emerged victorious against what is now his team.
In 2013, together with Klopp, Dortmund played in the Champions League final but lost against their classic rival. The remaining two players on the list of the only 4 experienced in finals were there: Mats Hummels and Marco Reusidols of the German team.

The Brit heads the list of debutants who, in turn, are new signings. Brahim Diaz, who lost the semi-finals of the competition with Milan last season, accompanies Fran GarcÃa, Arda Güler, youth player Mario MartÃn and Joselu Matowho with a double in the last minutes, beat Bayern Munich and qualified the team of which he is also a fan to the final.
Bellingham, the protagonist of a paradox
Jude Bellingham stars in the real Madrid and at Borussia Dortmund this season. In his contract when he left the German team it is established that if the Briton wins the Champions League, the ‘merengues’ will have to pay an additional 25 million to the Germans.
Jude Bellingham, Borussia Dortmund player, became worth 75 million euros, 48 ​​million more in 2021.

In addition to this, the bonuses that Real Madrid must deliver increase when taking into account the goals scored by the player and the possibility of being chosen as one of the best players in this edition of the Champions League. Adding this to the prizes achieved for advancing to the finals and the sum awarded to the runner-up, which, in total, would give around 40 million euros.

This means that, in a certain way, the black and yellow team would earn more money if Real Madrid were to win a new Champions League. The black and yellow team is going all out for the title at Wembley and wants to win the second Champions League in its history without thinking about that million-dollar figure, but it would lose money: The champion of the European competition will take home 20 million euros in total this year.
The Germans would lose, only taking into account the situation with Bellingham, 5 million euros if they are champions. Now, the Germans find a new dilemma that the fans, excited about the second, will most likely ignore and the yellow wall will encourage, as always, the team they love in the final of this season. Champions League.
