- Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Jr. scored the winning goals.
- Real Madrid has now won their last nine European Cup finals.
Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Jr. emerged as the match’s standout players, each netting crucial goals.
Real’s decisive moment occurred at the 74-minute mark with a corner kick. Toni Kroos whipped in the cross, and Carvajal’s precise header beat Gregor Kobel, finding the side netting.
A misjudged pass by Dortmund’s Ian Maatsen shortly thereafter turned the tide. Intercepted by Jude Bellingham, the ball was quickly relayed to Vinicius Jr., who charged at the goal and scored, aided by a deflection.
This triumph cements Real Madrid’s status as the kings of European football, boasting 15 Champions League victories.
The club has been victorious in their last nine European Cup finals, claiming the title six times in the recent 11 seasons.
Players like Carvajal, Kroos, Nacho, and Luka Modric now stand alongside the legendary Paco Gento, each having won the European Cup six times.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti further solidified his legacy as the most decorated manager in the competition, earning his fifth title.
A noteworthy security presence of over 2,500 stewards was on hand at Wembley to deter the chaos seen during the Euro 2020 final, where ticketless fans forced entry.
Despite these measures, the game’s opening minutes saw three pitch invaders, one capturing a moment with Bellingham and Vinicius on camera.
