Real Madrid extended their illustrious record by claiming a 15th European Cup after securing a hard-fought 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) final at Wembley Stadium. Goals from Dani Carvajal and Vinícius Júnior sealed the victory for Los Blancos in a match that showcased both teams’ resilience and competitive spirit.

The grand finale of the European club season saw Real Madrid, fresh off regaining domestic supremacy, clash with a Dortmund side that had defied the odds to top the ‘Group of Death’ and eliminate heavyweights Atlético Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain en route to the final.

Dortmund began the match with a flurry of opportunities, signaling their intent early on. Julian Brandt fired wide from a smart Niclas Füllkrug pass, setting the tone for a tense first half. Karim Adeyemi then squandered a golden chance, failing to beat Thibaut Courtois after timing his run perfectly to latch onto Mats Hummels’ pass. Füllkrug’s subsequent effort struck the post, adding to Dortmund’s growing list of missed opportunities.

Courtois, in stellar form, thwarted Adeyemi again and comfortably dealt with Füllkrug’s follow-up header. The Belgian goalkeeper continued to be a thorn in Dortmund’s side, denying Marcel Sabitzer’s strike and keeping Real Madrid in the game despite their opponents’ dominance.

As the second half commenced, Toni Kroos, playing his final club match, nearly conjured a moment of magic with a well-struck free-kick that was turned away by Gregor Kobel. Real Madrid, slow to start after the break, saw their first real chance when Carvajal’s instinctive near-post effort was saved by Kobel with the help of Ian Maatsen.

Jude Bellingham, unusually subdued, almost found the net for Real Madrid, only for Nico Schlotterbeck to make a crucial deflection. Despite Dortmund’s overall superiority, a sense of inevitability lingered that Real Madrid would eventually break the deadlock.

In the 74th minute, that inevitability became reality. Kroos delivered a sublime corner that Carvajal met with a glancing header, guiding it past Kobel to give Real Madrid the lead. Bellingham nearly doubled the advantage soon after, but Schlotterbeck’s timely intervention kept Dortmund in contention.

However, Dortmund’s hopes were dashed when Vinícius Júnior sealed the victory with a scuffed angled finish from a Bellingham pass, confirming Los Blancos’ triumph. Despite Dortmund’s brave efforts, they were left to rue missed opportunities as Real Madrid celebrated another historic European conquest.

This victory marked only the fourth time Real Madrid had achieved the LaLiga and European Cup double, capping off a remarkable season. It was a fitting farewell for Kroos, who ended his club career with a joint-record sixth European Cup/UCL title, equaling the legendary Paco Gento’s record. With this victory, Real Madrid once again demonstrated their unparalleled pedigree in European football, solidifying their status as the kings of the continent.
