Real Madrid withstood a Borussia Dortmund barrage to win the Champions League for the 15th time as Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Junior struck late in a 2-0 win at Wembley on Saturday.
Real Madrid were crowned champions of Europe for the 15th time at Wembley, with second-half goals from Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Jr seeing off a brave Borussia Dortmund in a 2-0 victory.
The German side hit the post and created two more big chances in the first half as they threatened a big upset but Real has a unique relationship with this competition and with an improved display after the interval finally came to life.
Toni Kroos – in his final game for the club – set up the opener with a corner for Carvajal to head in with 16 minutes to play, while England’s Jude Bellingham rolled in Vinicius Jr to punish a stretched Dortmund side soon after.
Niclas Fullkrug, who had struck the inside of an upright earlier in the game when Dortmund were breaking through the Real backline at will, thought he’d set up a big finish with a headed finish, but was flagged offside and Dortmund’s hopes of an unlikely comeback all but ended there.
