The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

85%

Examples:

  • Erling Haaland and Jude Bellingham both excelled at Dortmund before moving on to Manchester City and Real Madrid respectively... Few elite clubs, however, have deployed this strategy more successfully than Dortmund's opponents at Wembley.
  • London has been turning yellow and black... Few give them a hope at Wembley on Saturday night... Their last Champions League final, also at Wembley in 2013, had a similar ambience...

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • The new managing director, Lars Ricken, has an academy background... That has to be our way.
  • Win this final, and never again will Dortmund be known as the perennial bridesmaids...

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Borussia Dortmund are playing in the Champions League final against Real Madrid
  • Borussia Dortmund finished fifth place in the Bundesliga this season, behind runaway champion Bayer Leverkusen.
  • Dortmund have a chance to win the Champions League final and change their reputation as perennial bridesmaids
  • Real Madrid is the most successful club in the Champions League with 15 titles, while Borussia Dortmund's only major European success is their 1997 victory.

Deceptions

70%

Examples:

  • All week, and by small degrees, London has been turning yellow and black... Few give them a hope at Wembley on Saturday night.
  • And if Real Madrid are here for business and business alone, for Dortmund the equation has always been slightly more complex.
  • But there is a fine line between adjusting to reality and acquiescing to it, and somewhere amid those seven second places came an internal acceptance that Dortmund had become a club preoccupied with cementing its position rather than challenging it.
  • Few elite clubs, however, have deployed this strategy more successfully than Dortmund's opponents at Wembley.
