Real Madrid will go for their fifteenth UEFA Champions League title on Saturday (June 1) when they face Borussia Dortmund in the 2023-24 final at Wembley.
Unsurprisingly, there will once again be Brazilian presence on the Merengue side. Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, and Eder Militao have all lifted the trophy once already, so they will be looking to add to their tally in London.

The three Brazilian representatives in Madrid were European champions in the 2021-22 season, securing the club’s fourteenth European success.
All of them played a leading role in that campaign, especially Rodrygo and Vinicius. The former come up with a heroic moment in the second leg of the semifinal against Manchester City, scoring a brace off the bench to turn things around at the Santiago Bernabéu.
The former Flamengo player, meanwhile, scored the game-winning goal in the tournament decider against Liverpool in Paris.
Will they celebrate again in 2024?
