The most decorated team in the continent increased the number of trophies it possesses on Saturday by winning the UEFA Champions League for the sixth time since 2014—a total of 15 European victories.
Borussia Dortmund appeared to be Real Madrid’s equal for most of the championship game on Saturday at London’s Wembley Stadium. The Germans were undoubtedly the superior squad in the first half, they had every opportunity to kill the game 30 minutes of the crucial match played yesterday.
After forty-five minutes, Thibaut Courtois of Madrid made three saves to keep his team level, and Niclas Füllkrug struck the crossbar. Dortmund was unlucky not to be up on the scoreboard.
It remained that way until just over twenty-five minutes remained. At that moment, senior Blanco Toni Kroos, who was playing his final club game before retiring, corner-kicked the ball to veteran Real Madrid right defender Dani Carvajal, who headed it home. Nine minutes later, Brazil forward Vinícius Júnior, who had earlier scored Real Madrid’s Champions League-winning goal in 2022, made it 2-0 and eliminated any doubt about the result.
