Real Madrid win 15th Champions League trophy, defeat Borussia Dortmund

Real Madrid gave continue their dominance in the UEFA Champions League by winning their 15th title in the tournament after an emphatic victory over Borussia Dortmund.

Los Blancos went into this season’s final as the heavy favourites and they didn’t fail to deliver winning the match 2-0.

Borussia Dortmund looked like they were going to pull a surprise but Karim Adeyemi and Niclas Fullkrug spurned huge chances for the German side in the first half.

The Bundesliga team were made to rue their wastefulness in front of goal as Madrid got their scoring boot on in the second half.

Madrid broke the deadlock midway through the second half when Dani Carvajal headed in a Toni Kroos corner – his first Champions League goal in five years.

With just under ten minutes remaining, Vinicius Junior scored after Ian Maatsen gave away possession at the back far too easily to ice the game and seal another Champions League for Madrid.

Dortmund thought they pulled one back late on through Fullkrug but he was denied by an offside flag. That was the closest the Bundesliga side came to clawing their way back into the contest.

Madrid’s triumph at Wembley sees them complete a memorable double having also finished first in La Liga, wrestling the Spanish title back from rivals Barcelona.

Real Madrid have now won the Champions League in two of the last three years as well as six times in the last 10 years.
