Dortmund set for win-win Champions League final and will rake in millions even if they lose to Real Madrid
BORUSSIA DORTMUND are guaranteed a bumper windfall even if they LOSE the Champions League final.
The Bundesliga outfit will go into the Wembley clash as massive underdogs on June 1.
Former star Jude Bellingham, 20, is the jewel in Los Blancos’ crown and could well return to haunt his former club on the field.
But even if Bellingham inspires a Real victory, Dortmund’s bank balance will be a big winner.
The England superstar became the most expensive English player ever when he moved to Spain in a £115million deal.
And thanks to add-ons, Dortmund are set to cash in again.
Bild claim they are due £4.3m due to to Real making the final and another £1.7m if he is named in the Champions League Team of the Season.
With eight goals in 10 games in this season’s competition and a huge reputation, it seems likely the full £6m will be heading to Germany.
But Dortmund know the real bonus would be an elusive European title.
They were beaten by bitter rivals Bayern Munich, who controversially lost to Real in this season’s semi-finals, in the 2013 showpiece and their only triumph came in 1997.
