"I told Vini and Bellingham that I would see them in the final"

Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho said he wrote to Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham after Real Madrid's win over Bayern Munich and told them they would meet in the final at Wembley.

The Dortmund striker, on loan from Manchester United, has recovered his form at the German club and will be one of the most dangerous players in Saturday's Champions League final.

"As a child you always dream about these matches. It's like a dream come true. Playing against Madrid makes it even better," the England winger told TNT Sports.

"These are the games I love the most. It's going to be a great game. Real Madrid... Their history speaks for itself. I have good friends there, Jude and Vini, and we spoke after the Bayern game, I told them we'd see each other in the final," he admitted.

"There's going to be a lot of tension. I'm really looking forward to it," added the winger, who shared a dressing room with Bellingham for a season (2020-21) before leaving for United. On his return he has started all six of his side's Champions League games and scored one goal.
