Borussia Dortmund are the anti-establishment – can they be saviours of the Champions League? (BVB)

Not a mega club and not state-owned, can BVB upset the odds and triumph at Wembley?

No one with a revenue of less than €460m has won the Champions League since 2013. That was still Bayern Munich, and they still beat Dortmund. Now, were Dortmund to somehow do it this season, they would break that trend. They have a revenue of “just” €420m last season.

The twist to all of this is that they’re nowhere near the level of previous Dortmund sides. It’s difficult to think the current team would beat even Thomas Tuchel’s side from 2015-16. The club’s approach has gone a bit stale. You only need to go through the squad: yes, it features returning stars in Jadon Sancho and Mats Hummels, but also relative journeymen in Niclas Fullkrug and Marcel Sabitzer.
