Rivaldo: “Real Madrid is the favorite, without a doubt, but Borussia is strong for the title”
"I think Real Madrid is the favorite, without a doubt, but Borussia is strong for the title and has shown that they know how to play this competition, handling tough matches well. We saw this in the two games they played against PSG, winning both semifinal matches. Yes, Real Madrid is the favorite, but I believe Dortmund will be the champion," said Rivaldo in an interview with Betfair.
The 2002/03 Champions League winner with Milan, Rivaldo, praised the ability of coach Carlo Ancelotti, who was his coach during that victory, to create an environment of friendship and trust among his players.
"He is someone who is always present with the players, boosting their morale; he is like a father to them. Ancelotti has done this very well wherever he has been. He definitely treats each of his players like his own children, and as a result, the players give their best on the field for themselves and for the coach, seeing this mutual friendship with the team leader, always managing to bring out the best in each team member," said Rivaldo.
The Betfair ambassador also recalled difficult moments during his career while playing for the Italian club under Ancelotti, when the coach provided emotional and professional support to the five-time champion.
