Under the Wembley lights, Real Madrid once again wrote football history with a dramatic 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the #UCLFinal! Defender Dani Carvajal broke the deadlock with a 74th-minute header, before Vinícius Jr. sealed the win with a clinical finish – proving why Madrid remains Europe’s ultimate clutch team.
Dortdominated the first half, hitting the post and missing golden chances, but Madrid’s legendary ‘UCL DNA’ kicked in when it mattered. Toni Kroos delivered a picture-perfect corner for Carvajal’s goal in his final club match, while veterans Luka Modrić and Nacho joined him as six-time European champions – matching Paco Gento’s iconic record.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti added another jewel to his crown, becoming the first manager to win five Champions League titles. With nine straight final wins and six trophies in 11 seasons, Madrid’s reign shows no signs of slowing. As the players sang '¡Hala Madrid!' with fans, one thing was clear: when it comes to European glory, the throne still belongs to Spain.
