Dortmund were the better side in the Champions League final but Real Madrid. Their past is gilded, their present is bejeweled and their future is Mbappe.
At least in the case of the Champions League, history is not actually written by the victors. Borussia Dortmund penned almost every line of this lengthy, engrossing, compelling ode to the 2024 final; Real Madrid simply barged in towards the end, changed a couple of details, added their byline and hit publish.
Those decisive moments will replay in Black and Yellow minds for eternity. Karim Adeyemi choosing the wrong side to round Thibaut Courtois when played through in the gaping void behind the defence. The flowing move which involved six different players and cut through Real but could not be converted. Niclas Fullkrug hitting the post, albeit when probably offside.
Dani Carvajal should have scored from a similar situation not long before – his excellent movement to meet a Toni Kroos delivery was let down by too powerful a front-post header soon into the second half – but this time the touch was perfect, the breakthrough was delivered and, in the case of Dortmund, the lesson was not learned.
