Real Madrid won their 15th Champions League, the fifth as a coach for King Carlo Ancelotti , who also won two as a footballer.

In the setting of Wembley the Spanish team suffered for a while, then won 2-0 over Borussia Dortmund thanks to goals from Carvajal and Vinicius , putting an end to the splendid tale of the yellow and blacks who were trying to repeat their only success in the top competition European Union, which occurred in 1997 to the detriment of Juventus.

Real suffered a lot in the first half, in particular in the first half hour of play which was literally dominated by Borussia. Courtois and Carvajal block Adeyemi's door, while Fullkrug hits a sensational post . In general, there were many dangerous situations created by the Germans, while the Blancos didn't get a shot on goal and the big names struggled to get into the game. The only one to show up with some flashes is Vinicius, who however fails to create serious dangers and is also booked at the end of the half.

In the second half Ancelotti's team took another turn : Kroos immediately challenged Borussia goalkeeper Kobel, then Carvajal came close to scoring twice. The defender is the most dangerous man for Los Blancos and in the 74th minute, following a perfect corner taken by Kroos, Carvajal leaps higher than anyone and gives Real the lead . A few minutes later Bellingham graces the Germans by wasting two steps from the goal, then Kobel responds to Kroos' shot, which ends his extraordinary career this evening, there couldn't have been a better way.

The Blancos are raging, Borussia is on the ropes and Koben has to fly twice to deflect attempts from Camavinga and Nacho. It was the starter for the double: Vinicius scored it in the 83rd minute, taking advantage of a serious mistake by Maatsen and capitalizing on Bellingham's assist .

A shiver runs down the spines of Real fans in the 87th minute, when Fullkrug scores. But the goal was immediately disallowed for offside and then the party could begin, the match had nothing left to say.
