In addition to Vinicius and Bellingham’s form, Real Madrid’s curious superstitions for its success in Champions League

Real Madrid once again will play another Champions League Final as they are set to play against Borussia Dortmund today at Wembley Stadium. Real Madrid has 14 Champions League titles to their name, the last one being two years ago, in Paris against Liverpool. Now, the Spanish team aims to win their 15th trophy to continue to show their dominance in the competition. Since the team and the club are familiar with playing a Champions League Final, there are certain superstitions they have before playing this final. It has been used for years, even before the arrival of Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham, who are the stars of this team. Juan Cierco, Iberia’s corporate director, revealed how often Real Madrid uses their airline before a Champions League Final. Ceirco said, “Florentino Pérez and the entire Real Madrid delegation always want some lucky charms (when they travel to the Champions League final), they are faithful to the traditions. One of them is to fly with Iberia and another is to fly with certain people who have accompanied them throughout these last years and who have given them luck. They have asked for the same cabin crew for many years. One of the curiosities is that they asked for it in the years in which Real Madrid won several in a row.”

Another superstition the club has is that Toni Kroos is the last player to walk off the coach bus as the team arrives at the stadium. This will most likely be observed at Wembley when the team arrives for the final against Dortmund. Kroos will also play his final game for Real Madrid and his final game at club level as he will retire after the EUROS 2024.

Another tradition that has been seen over the last couple of years is an iconic tifo or banner for the Champions League Final. The iconic ‘Hasta El Final, Vamos Real’ banner is another hallmark of Real Madrid’s Champions League finals. Created by Grada Fans, Real Madrid’s Official Fan group, this banner only appears during the final. It will be brought for the final against Borussia Dortmund, according to Carrusel.

Another unique routine the Real Madrid team does before a Champions League Final is players being placed in a dark room. This is the final minutes before the team leaves the hotel. Only the players and coaching staff are allowed inside. Carlo and Davide will announce the lineup and show selected videos to boost the team’s morale. Some players admit that they are nervous when put in a dark room, but the videos shown give the players a boost of motivation.
