UX reacts to the first half of the Champions League final between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund

We are in the middle of the regulation period for the 2024 UEFA Champions League final, folks. Has everyone caught their breath yet?

Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid are still tied 0-0 but it was almost an uneventful half.

It was the first 45 games at Wembley. Before the game started, we were treated to Lenny Kravitz. Although not all were fans.

Nothing against Lenny Kravitz but he just silenced the Yellow Wall who had the perfect football voice. It's hard for the organizers but the music really kills the football moment. pic.twitter.com/D7LNX056JF

It's times like these that you long for a Lenny Kravitz gig

And when the game was going on, it had to be stopped again. Not one, not two, but three attackers can escape from security in the first minute!

Hate this “we chose not to show you the stadium invader” it's a sports channel not news! just show everyone what they want to see!

Good thing Wembley didn't just spend a lot of money on security upgrades, right? OK? OK?

That went well… https://t.co/CixuVOlMg5

Wembley security could be the worst it's ever been, really with these types of people at the doors: pic.twitter.com/cWjQiu5hKg

When the ball arrived in the right way away, it was actually Dortmund who looked the stronger side. First, Mats Hummels picked out Karim Adeyemi's run from the back, but the striker took too much of a touch on goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and his effort was denied.

First Karim Adeyemi, then Niclas Fullkrug…

Borussia Dortmund dominated the opening 30mins and came VERY close to opening the scoring.

ADEYEMI… HOW?!?

That Hummels ball 🤯

Mats Hummels btw is one of the few CBs who has gotten better with age, what a player.

Not long after, Niclas Fullkrug hit the post while Adeyemi wasted another chance to put Dortmund ahead.

We've seen this story before.

Adeyemi had one each, Fullkrug hit the back of the net and Real Madrid were still not behind.
