UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL

BORUSSIA DORTMUND V REAL MADRID

SUNDAY, JUNE 2, LIVE AND FREE ON 9GO! AND 9NOW

THE TITANS OF WORLD FOOTBALL BATTLE FOR THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE CROWN

STAN SPORT, AD-FREE, LIVE AND ON-DEMAND IN 4K UHD

The best club football team in Europe will be crowned when Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund meet in the UEFA Champions League Final, live and free on 9Go! on Sunday, June 2, from 4.15am.

This mouthwatering final pits two giants of world football against each other, where the champion will be crowned at London’s historic Wembley Stadium for a record eighth time.

In a David and Goliath match-up, 14-time European champions Real Madrid – who have the most titles in UEFA history – face German Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund, who are out to cause an upset.

Real Madrid are heavy favourites after a season of dominance, both at home where they cruised to another Spanish La Liga title, and in Europe, storming to the Champions League final. They are driven by standout stars Vinicius Jr and Toni Kroos, alongside Jude Bellingham in his first season at Real Madrid after ironically transferring from their Champions League rival.

Dortmund are UEFA’s Cinderella story. Despite finishing fifth in the Bundesliga, they need to defeat Real Madrid in order to return for next season’s UEFA competition. On their path to Wembley they have conquered top-tier teams including Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid and AC Milan.

Covering all the action will be host Max Rushden alongside Socceroos legends and expert commentators Mark Bosnich, and Craig Foster.

Joining Foster live from London will be legendary football commentator Martin Tyler, for special guest comments throughout the broadcast.

English Premier League winner Mark Bosnich said: “It’s the underdogs versus the top dogs when Borussia Dortmund meet Real Madrid.

“Dortmund have one previous title, in 1997, and Real Madrid have a record 14 titles. The contrasts could not be more stark, but the black and yellow have a chance to pull off a famous upset against the Kings of Europe.”

Bozza’s fun facts:

• Jude Bellingham signed for Real Madrid from Dortmund at the start of the season for $147 million and has scored 23 goals with 12 assists from 41 games in all competitions.
• Dortmund will be playing in their third final. The last one was also at Wembley in 2013 where they lost 1-2 to Bayern Munich.

Lenny Kravitz will be the pre-match entertainment for the UEFA final.

You’d think from that Mat Thompson will do play by play. I wonder what Brenton Speed’s role is as he is also one of Nines key play by play callers.

I wonder what Brenton Speed’s role is as he is also one of Nines key play by play callers.

Perhaps he’s calling the morning heats while Thompson does the night finals.

Nine going all out for the trials. Love it. Swimming on FTA TV in Australia is back

[BigVic]

Just like the good old days. Heats on free to air TV for the first time. Nine used to air the finals 20 years ago.

[foxyrover]

Did 10/ONE not air swimming at some point?

@foxyrover

Did 10/ONE not air swimming at some point?

Yes they did. Marked by sharp declines in audiences.

Anthony Hudson did play by play for some of it. Then when they lost the AFL and he moved on, Stephen Quartermaine returned to play by play of swimming prior to Glasgow. He had last called swimming at the 1994 Comm Games in Victoria Canada.

MONDAY JUNE 10 TO SATURDAY JUNE 15
EXCLUSIVE, LIVE AND FREE ON CHANNEL 9 AND 9NOW

Get ready for the ultimate Aussie duel in the pool when the 2024 Australian Swimming Trials are exclusive, live and free on Channel 9 and 9Now from Monday, June 10, at 7.30pm AEST.

Serving as the official selection trials for our Olympic and Paralympic Games swimming squads, one high-octane week of competition will take place as athletes look to book their tickets to Paris.

Olympic gold medallist Giaan Rooney said: “Every Australian swimmer wants to call themselves an Olympian, but to get there first you have to make it through one of the most competitive events in the world.

“The intensity and level of competition at the Trials is going to be very high, with the depth of quality meaning Australia could field at least three to four representatives in an Olympic final, but only two will get that opportunity.

“Our team for Paris 2024 is going to be one of the most impressive Australian Dolphins Swimming teams in history, with a great contrast between the leadership and experience of Emma McKeon, Kayle McKeown, Ariane Titmus and Kyle Chalmers mixed with emerging superstars snapping at their heels, such as Mollie O’Callagan and Sam Short.
