Real Madrid beat Borussia Dortmund at Wembley Stadium to win their 15th European Champions League title

Real Madrid were crowned kings of Europe for a record-extending 15th time with a 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final at Wembley on Saturday.

Huge favourites going in to the game, the Spanish side were outplayed for long periods but broke Dortmund’s resistance with late goals from Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Jr.

Veteran right back Carvajal glanced in a header from a Toni Kroos corner in the 74th minute and from that moment Carlo Ancelotti’s side sparked into life.

Vinicius slid home Real’s second in the 83rd minute to silence the yellow-clad Dortmund fans who had created a wall of noise throughout the final.

It was hard on the German side who missed several good first-half chances, the best of which saw Niclas Fuellkrug hit the post from close range. Relive all the action and reaction from Wembley below:

Real Madrid XI: Courtois, Carvajal, Rudiger, Nacho, Mendy; Valverde, Camavinga, Kroos; Bellingham, Rodrygo, Vini Jr.

Borussia Dortmund XI: Kobel; Ryerson, Hummels, Schlotterbeck, Maatsen; Emre Can, Sabitzer; Sancho, Brandt, Adeyemi; Fullkrug

“Ask the fans if they care” about how they played in the first half, or during the game against Manchester City, he adds.

Heartbreak in London again for Borussia Dortmund. Once again, they produced a spirited display and had the chances to maybe even win the game, but they fall short at the final hurdle.

Not really a vintage Real Madrid side by any means, but with Endrick and maybe Mbappe still to come, it’ll be hard to stop them in Spain and Europe over the coming years
