Real Madrid secured their unprecedented 15th Champions League title, lifting the trophy at Wembley Stadium after defeating Borussia Dortmund 2-0 after 90 minutes.
Jerrymusa.com reports that Terzic’s side appeared more likely to score for a significant majority of the game, striking an impressive 11 shots, testing Courtois four times, and hitting the post early through Fullkrug.
Despite their numerous goal attempts, compared to Real Madrid’s, the German side failed to breach the well-organized Real Madrid defense, which weathered every storm in the first hour.
Dortmund Couldn’t Stop Madrid
Ancelotti’s side emerged unscathed and took the lead with 16 minutes remaining, as Kroos provided the assist for Carvajal’s header from a corner. Bellingham and Vinicius capitalized on Maatsen’s mistake nine minutes later, doubling the advantage.
However, Fullkrug’s header 120 seconds before stoppage time seemed to offer Dortmund a late glimmer of hope. Ultimately, an offside decision denied the striker – and Dortmund any chance of winning their second European Cup.
Kroos retired from club football with six Champions League titles, equalling Paco Gento’s record, while Ancelotti secured his fifth title as a coach. This concluded the Champions League final between Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid.
