Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has revealed his support for Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final against Real Madrid, citing Jadon Sancho’s remarkable turnaround as the reason.
Ferdinand hopes Dortmund can pull off an upset victory at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, despite Real Madrid being the heavy favorites,
Ferdinand, a former England defender, expressed his admiration for Sancho’s journey, saying, “I don’t really care about Dortmund, I don’t care who wins this, really, if I’m honest. But for someone like Jadon, it’d be great for young people to see someone who can go through a bit of a downturn in confidence, change environments, and face criticism, but then come out the other end and produce some performances.”
Sancho’s return to Dortmund on loan in January has revitalized his career, helping the team achieve shocking wins over Atletico Madrid and PSG en route to the final.
