Champions League final: Jadon Sancho is encouraged to play confidently and fearlessly against Real Madrid, as he has the ability to cause damage to any opponent.

Jadon Sancho is being urged to showcase his “swagger” in the UEFA Champions League final against Real Madrid, according to former England midfielder Owen Hargreaves. The match, set to take place at Wembley on Saturday, will see Sancho’s Borussia Dortmund take on the Spanish giants in what promises to be a thrilling encounter.

Sancho, who returned to Dortmund on loan this season after a high-profile move to Manchester United, has played a crucial role in his team’s journey to the final. In the first leg of the semi-finals against Paris Saint-Germain, Sancho put on a dazzling display, recording 12 dribbles, the most in a single match in the competition this season.

Hargreaves expressed his delight at seeing Sancho rediscover his form after a challenging period at Old Trafford. The pundit emphasized the importance of Sancho demonstrating his abilities on the grandest stage, stating, “What you’ve got to do is show people.”

Real Madrid, the favorites going into the final, will pose a formidable challenge for Sancho and his Dortmund teammates. However, Hargreaves believes that the winger has the ability to shine once again. He highlighted the need for Sancho to play with confidence and utilize his trademark skills to unsettle Real left-back Ferland Mendy.

Sancho’s return to Dortmund has seen him regain the form that made him a sensation in German football during his initial spell at the club. His time at Manchester United was marred by managerial changes, fitness issues, and a public fallout with manager Erik ten Hag. However, Hargreaves believes that the stability and confidence he has found at Dortmund have played a significant role in his resurgence.

Ultimately, Hargreaves stressed the importance of Sancho seizing the opportunity to showcase his abilities in the final. He stated, “It’s a massive game for Jadon to show everybody what he is capable of.”
