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 Jr 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 follow the reaction from Wembley below:

Real Madrid find a new hero to deny Dortmund and clinch familiar Champions League glory
Even the way they won it went by the familiar script. The same old story, if with a few new elements that Real Madrid can crow about. The club’s 15th Champions League is the first they have won at Wembley.

So, the European Cup finally goes from the home of football to the home of this competition – even though they’ve tried to destroy it with a Super League. That was all thanks to Carlo Ancelotti winning a fifth as a manager and another club stalwart becoming a club legend.

In scoring just the 13th goal of his Real Madrid career after 11 seasons, Dani Carvajal sent the club on the way to a 2-0 victory against a spirited but limited Borussia Dortmund. He adds his name to a legacy that includes Alfredo Di Stefano, Paco Gento, Ferenc Puskas, Predrag Mijatovic, Raul, Zinedine Zidane, Cristiano Ronaldo, Vinicius Jr… and if that by this point reads like the mere relaying of a list, that was almost the point.

Madrid barely had to go through the motions to win. Vinicius Jr even got his customary breakaway goal. Jude Bellingham gets his first Champions League medal to make it a double in his first season, even if this was not his finest game. It didn’t need to be.

It was all so inevitable.

“It’s nice, it’s very nice,” Ancelotti said. “The quantity isn’t important.

“The nice thing is to win these moments . This second stage at Real Madrid seems like a dream, let’s hope we wake up.

“What did I say to Perez? Now let’s think about number 16.”

Edin Terzic reacts to result
Dortmund’s manager is the latest in front of the TNT cameras. He calls the game “difficult“, adding that it is “tough to find the right words“.

“They’ve been so effective, and this is something that we missed. We showed we were here to win. There were small things missing.

“I am [proud]. This is a proud moment, because we brough nearly 100,000 people from Dortmund, and everybody had the belief.

“It was a great opportunity, and we unfortunately didn’t make it.

“As a fan you are suffering, but if you see how much the boys did, and then to get this kind of disappointment, it’s different.

“We need this kind of belief. In the world of sports, there will always be a winner and a loser, but it’s about keeping that belief high”.

Jude Bellingham hails ‘greatest night of my life’ after Real Madrid win Champions League
Jude Bellingham hailed Real Madrid’s Champions League final victory over Borussia Dortmund as “the best night of my life”.

Real needed two late goals to beat Dortmund 2-0 at Wembley.

The 20-year-old former Birmingham City player has grown into one of the best midfielders in world football, having joining Madrid last summer, and on the biggest club stage of all he picked up an assist as he set up Vinicius Jr for their second goal of the match, despite an otherwise quiet performance.

“I’ve always dreamed of playing in these games,” Bellingham told TNT Sports. “You go through life and there are so many people who say you can’t do things and days like today remind you why. It gets hard at times and you wonder whether it’s worth it but nights like tonight make you realise.

“I was all right until I saw my mum and dad’s face. My little brother is there and I’m trying to be a role model for him.

“I cannot put it into words. The best night of my life.”
