After a flurry of goals from Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid held on to win the Champions League for the fifteenth time on Saturday at Wembley thanks to goals from Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Junior in the closing moments.
Right-back On minute 74, Vinicius struck a shot into the far corner after Carvajal had headed in from Toni Kroos’ corner, cementing the Spanish powerhouses’ status as the most successful team in Champions League history.
Madrid have now won their last nine European Cup finals and won the competition six times in the last 11 seasons.
However, not for the first time in that run, they had to rely on some good fortune as underdogs Dortmund were left to bitterly regret not making the most of their first-half chances.
Niclas Fuellkrug hit the post and Karim Adeyemi failed to convert a one-on-one with Thibaut Courtois.
Madrid, though, always seem to find a way in Europe’s elite competition and made more history in the English capital.
Carvajal, Kroos, Nacho and Luka Modric joined Real legend Paco Gento as the only players to win the European Cup six times.
Carlo Ancelotti also extended his record as the most successful coach in the competition’s history with his fifth title.
A record number of more than 2,500 stewards were in place at Wembley with the authorities keen to avoid a repeat of the violent scenes that marred the Euro 2020 final three years ago when ticketless fans stormed the turnstiles.
A very big congratulations to Real Madrid.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
