Real Madrid secured their 15th Champions League trophy in a dramatic final at Wembley, where they edged past Borussia Dortmund with a 2-0 victory.
Despite a challenging first half where Dortmund dominated and missed several key opportunities, Real Madrid’s resilience shone through. Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi and Niclas Fullkrug were among those who could not capitalize on their chances, with Real’s goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois making crucial saves to keep the match scoreless. The turning point came late in the game when Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Jr scored within nine minutes of each other, sealing the victory and demonstrating Real’s notorious ability to triumph under pressure.
The win marks a historic achievement for Carlo Ancelotti, who has now won the competition five times as a coach, the most in the tournament’s history. The match also highlighted the impact of Jude Bellingham in his first season with Real Madrid, setting up the decisive second goal.
In contrast, Dortmund’s performance, while strong, ultimately ended in disappointment, echoing their previous loss at Wembley in 2013.
