Former Real Madrid midfielder has predicted his former side to beat Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League final at the Wembley in London on Saturday (June 1). Los Blancos are looking to win a record-extending 15th title.
Carlo Ancelotti's side have had a fabulous European campaign, going unbeaten in 12 games. After topping their group stage, they dumped out holders Manchester City on penalties in the quarterfinals.
Los Blancos then registered a 2-1 second-leg comeback home win over Bayern Munich in the semifinals to reach a record-extending 18th final. Meanwhile, BvB have had an impressive campaign of their own, beating PSG 1-0 home and away to reach their first final since 2013.

However, Kaka is expectedly rooting for his former side to triumph this weekend. In a picture tweeted by Madrid Xtra, the 2007 Ballon d'Or winner held aloft a poster where he ticked Los Blancos.
Madrid have had a wonderful campaign overall, losing just twice across competitions, both times to Atletico Madrid. Since the second of those losses - in the Copa del Rey Round of 16 - at the start of the year, Amcelotti's side are yet to endure defeat.
