Real Madrid

Real Madrid won every game in the group stage and topped Group C. They won on the fields of Union Berlin, Napoli, and Braga by being at home and away with the same score of 3-1, four goals, and three of them, conceding 16 goals and just 7.

Real Madrid managed to pass the Round of 16, where they won the first leg, having been away 1-0, and drew the second leg at their home playing 1-1. And in the quarterfinals, Real Madrid won 2-1 in the second leg, having drawn the first leg 1-1 at the Wanda Metropolitano, to place themselves in the semifinals.

Borussia Dortmund

Dortmund led their tough group before Newcastle United, AC Milan, and Paris Saint-Germain, then overcame PSV Eindhoven in the Round of 16.

In the quarter-finals, they defeated Atletico Madrid. Lining up in the semi-finals, Dortmund was to face Paris Saint-Germain, a game they overcame with an aggregate of 2-0 to book a place in the championship final.
