The 14-time European champions have allowed Gareth Bale and Isco Alcaron to leave the Santiago Bernabeu after their contracts expire.
It will hope to find further success under Carlos Ancelotti, who became the most successful Champions League head coach after lifting the UCL title last season. The Italian won the Super Cup with Real in 2014 and will look to double his title with the Spanish Giants.
On the other hand, Eintracht Frankfurt has never participated in this tournament. And, it started the Bundesliga season with a lousy performance against Bayern Munich.

This will be the first UEFA club tournament final to use semi-automatic offside technology. The system was tested at the Women’s Euro 2022 in England and in last season’s Champions League. It has also been approved by FIFA for the World Cup in Qatar.
