A secret test match took place in Dortmund’s training ground on Saturday morning to prepare for the Champions League final against Real Madrid next week. The team faced their own U23 squad in a closed-door friendly game. Surprisingly, rapper Loredana was allowed to attend and cheered on her boyfriend Karim Adeyemi during the match. The presence of the music superstar added some excitement to the low-key affair.
The training match saw Dortmund’s head coach, Edin Terzic, experimenting with different line-ups instead of fielding the strongest team for Madrid. Players like Adeyemi, Marco Reus, and Mats Hummels were involved in the game. The match was taken seriously as two referees were even assigned for this internal practice match. The team’s management, including Sebastian Kehl and Sven Mislintat, closely monitored the players’ performances during the game.
After the test match, the Dortmund players will enjoy two rest days before gearing up for the final week ahead of the Champions League showdown. The team will participate in a media-day event on Tuesday in Dortmund to kick off the final preparations for the big game. The Dortmund fans are eager to see how the team will perform against powerhouse Real Madrid in the highly anticipated final.
