The anticipation surrounding the Champions League final is palpable, and Ivory Coast’s national team coach, Emerse Faé, has publicly declared his support for Borussia Dortmund in their clash against Real Madrid.
On Saturday, June 1, at 7 p.m. GMT, Wembley Stadium will host one of the most anticipated matches of the year as Borussia Dortmund takes on Real Madrid for the Champions League title.
Faé, who leads the Elephants, is particularly invested in this match, rooting for Dortmund’s forward Sébastien Haller to secure a victory.
“Obviously, I would like Borussia Dortmund to win for Sébastien Haller. He feels good, he has resumed training, and he can’t wait to play in the final.
Given all the difficulties he went through and the AFCON won with pain, I wish him a new title as a reward for all his efforts.
We all really want to see Dortmund win this Champions League,” Faé told 225Foot.
Haller, who has had a tumultuous journey with health challenges and a triumphant Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) victory earlier this year, is a central figure in Faé’s support for Dortmund.
The striker’s return to form and readiness for the final adds a personal dimension to Faé’s hopes for a Dortmund win.
Borussia Dortmund has proven to be a formidable opponent, having eliminated Atlético Madrid in the quarter-finals and Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals.
Their unpredictable and dynamic style of play presents a significant challenge for Real Madrid, a team accustomed to high-stakes European fixtures.
The stage is set for an electrifying showdown at Wembley, with fans and pundits eagerly awaiting the outcome.
As Real Madrid and Dortmund prepare to battle it out, the support from figures like Faé underscores the global reach and emotional investment in this pinnacle of club football.
One thing is certain: the atmosphere at Wembley will be electric, both in the stands and on the pitch, as these two giants of European football vie for the coveted Champions League trophy.
