England’s Jadon Sancho and Jude Bellingham to meet in Champions League final

Jude Bellingham

Even though Arsenal and Manchester City didn't make it past the quarter-final round, the Champions League final this season is still expected to have a lot of participation from English teams.

The European club football showcase event between Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid will take place at Wembley on June 1. It is exciting to note that two English players, Jadon Sancho and Jude Bellingham, will be participating and are aiming for a win on their home turf.

In this section, we will examine how English football players are performing outside of their home country and making a name for themselves overseas. The focus will be on their achievements in foreign leagues and tournaments.

This season, Borussia Dortmund has played in 18 matches and has scored a total of 3 goals.

Sancho went back to his former team on loan this season after having a disagreement with Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United. The talented 24-year-old struggled to make a name for himself at Old Trafford after transferring from Dortmund in 2021. However, he has shown glimpses of his skill since returning to Signal Iduna Park. He performed exceptionally well in the first leg of the semi-final victory over Paris St Germain and could make a surprise comeback to the England squad for Euro 2024, even though he hasn't played for his country since October of 2021. Sancho's celebration antics with his Dortmund teammates were also a trending topic on social media after they secured a place in the final. They sang Adele's hit, "Someone Like You," in the dressing room, with Sancho leading the way.

This season, Borussia Dortmund played in 31 games and scored a total of 2 goals.

The individual from England who is part of the under-21 team is likely the least recognized athlete among the players on this roster. This individual chose to take the same path as Sancho by leaving Manchester City's training academy and moving to Dortmund at the young age of 16 in the year 2020. This season they have competed in Europe's primary competition six times, and even managed to score a goal during the group phase, which resulted in a 3-1 victory over AC Milan at the San Siro. Although Bynoe-Gittens, who is 19 years of age, did not get to play in either semi-final game against Paris St Germain, he has already had the opportunity to participate in more than 50 games with the German team.

Real Madrid has participated in 39 matches this season and has scored 22 goals.

Bellingham, a footballer who has become very famous in Spain, will be playing against Dortmund. He used to play for them before moving to the Bernabeu last year. Many teams were interested in signing him last summer, but he picked Real Madrid in the end. He's only 20 years old and has already won the league with Madrid. If they win the European Cup too, it would be a big achievement for him and make him even more popular. Bellingham is really talented and could be one of the best players in the world in the future.
