Thibaut Courtois has been named in Real Madrid’s starting line-up for the UEFA Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund at Wembley. The Belgian goalkeeper, who has missed most of the season due to a knee injury, returned to fitness last month and featured in four La Liga fixtures.
Eduardo Camavinga replaces the injured Aurelien Tchouameni in Madrid’s only change from their semi-final victory over Bayern Munich. This match marks the final club appearance for Toni Kroos, while Jude Bellingham will play against his former team on home soil.
Dortmund’s coach Edin Terzic has opted for the same team that defeated Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-final, meaning Marco Reus will start on the bench in his final match after a 12-year career with the club.
