Though dortmund

UEFA Champions League: Borussia Dortmund's emotional journey to the 2024 UEFA Champions League final has provided a massive boost for the team, according to star striker Marco Reus.

Despite facing record Champions League winners Real Madrid, "we have collected so much energy and positive moments that we feel we can overcome any challenge," Reus told Xinhua.

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's not how you win a final. It's the day's performance that determines the winner. I am incredibly ambitious to end my time in Dortmund with a victory at Wembley," the former German international added.
