Manchester United loanee Jadon Sancho will be looking to forge his name in Borussia Dortmund history when they take on Real Madrid in the Champions League final.

The attacker is looking to get one over on his former Dortmund teammate, Jude Bellingham, as they look to thwart Los Blancos' hopes of a record-extending European cup crown.

A feud with United boss Erik ten Hag saw Sancho's first-team involvements diminish and as a result, he sought first-team football away from Old Trafford - returning to Signal Iduna Park, the club where he earned his big-money move to the Premier League. Dortmund have just one European Cup to their name after beating Juventus in 1997 but will be seeking to avenge their defeat in 2013 to German rivals Bayern Munich.

Bellingham, who United tried to sign before he made the switch to Dortmund, is looking to continue his formidable rise at the tender age of 19. The former Birmingham City midfielder has established himself as one of the best young players in the world, with many tipping the Real Madrid star to captain England in the future as well as being a contender for the Ballon d'Or.

He will face his former club for the first time at Wembley Stadium having only left the Bundesliga last summer in a high-profile move to La Liga. The recently-crowned La Liga Player of the Season has already added a Spanish top-flight winners' medal to his collection but he will be looking to be a part of the side that earns Real a 15th triumph in the competition.
