Real Madrid beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 at Wembley to win the Champions League for the fifteenth time. Vinicius Junior scored first, and then Dani Carvajal added another from a corner kick by Toni Kroos in the 74th minute. This victory continues Real Madrid’s dominance, as they’ve now won the last nine European Cup finals and six of the last eleven seasons.
Dortmund had their chances, with Niclas Fuellkrug hitting the post and Karim Adeyemi failing to score in a one-on-one with Thibaut Courtois. Despite this, Real Madrid’s luck held, and they secured the win.
This victory also highlights Carlo Ancelotti’s record, making him the most successful coach in the competition’s history with six titles. Strict security measures were in place to avoid issues seen in the Euro 2020 final, with 2,500 stewards at Wembley.
Thibaut Courtois, returning from a serious knee injury, made crucial saves to keep Real Madrid in the game.
