At Wembley Stadium in London, NBA stars Draymond Green and Joel Embiid shine as Real Madrid beat Borussia Dortmund to win the 15th Champions League.

The 2024 UEFA Champions League final between Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid took place at Wembley Stadium, and the stars are in attendance.

Before the major game, a few of the top names in the NBA were present and visited the UEFA Champions League Today set.

Green and his son surprised everyone on set by stopping by just as the UEFA Champions League final was about to begin.

Green gave a very modest evaluation of his own soccer abilities, claiming they are not very good.

DJ, the son of Green, predicted that Real Madrid will win the UCL.

Green wasn't the only NBA star to stop by the set as Philadelphia 76ers star and 2023 NBA MVP Joel Embiid, a diehard Real Madrid fan, spent some time with the crew discussing his lifelong passion for soccer.

Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers spoke with Jamie Carragher, Thierry Henry, Kate Abdo, and Micah Richards of CBS Sports about the eagerly awaited game.

Embiid recalled that the first soccer jersey he ever owned was that of Thierry Henry, former Arsenal star and current CBS Sports analyst.

Following a humorous conversation about height between Embiid and the crew, the 7'0" Philadelphia big man stepped out of his chair and towered over the other hosts.

To counter Embiid, Carragher ascended atop Richards' shoulders in an attempt to make himself appear taller.

Is there anything more bizarre than the sequence? seeing Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors and his son enter the set.

Since the Golden State Warriors were eliminated from playoff contention, Green has participated on TNT's Inside the NBA as a regular commentator. However, there have been repercussions for Green's public criticism of specific players.

Real Madrid beat Borussia Dortmund

Real Madrid defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-0 at Wembley to win a record-tying 15th Champions League title, although the La Liga winners were tested to the utmost by the Bundesliga team, who entered the match as a significant underdog.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti achieved his fifth Champions League victory with Real Madrid thanks to goals in the second half from Vinícius Júnior on 83 minutes and Dani Carvajal, the full-back's first since 2015. The former AC Milan coach had previously held the record.
