Spanish giants, Real Madrid claimed a record-extending 15th European Cup after goals from Dani Carvajal and Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior earned a hard-fought 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund<\/a> in the UEFA Champions League final at Wembley Stadium last night.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Julian Brandt fired wide from Niclas F\u00fcllkrug\u2019s intelligent pass to inflict the first jab on Der BVB in the heavyweight clash.<\/p>\n

Shortly after, Karim Adeyemi was then left to rue a golden missed opportunity after arching his run beautifully to meet a Mats Hummels pass, but could not find a way past Thibaut Courtois.<\/p>\n

F\u00fcllkrug then slid into the box and agonisingly saw his effort hit the post, in another huge warning for Carlo Ancelotti\u2019s side. Courtois was called into action again to deny the lively Adeyemi, before comfortably dealing with F\u00fcllkrug\u2019s follow-up header<\/p>\n

Africa Today News, New York reports that the Belgian was by far the busier of the two shot-stoppers, and pushed away Marcel Sabitzer\u2019s strike, leaving Edin Terzi\u0107\u2019s men wondering how they had not managed to draw first blood before halftime.<\/p>\n

Toni Kroos was making the final appearance of his illustrious club career, and almost answered his team\u2019s call for a moment of magic when the German\u2019s free-kick was pushed behind by Gregor Kobel in the Swiss goalkeeper\u2019s first save of the match, just past the restart.<\/p>\n

However, there was a growing sense of inevitability that despite Dortmund\u2019s overall superiority, it was only a matter of time before Real struck first.<\/p>\n

Kroos was the provider with a sublime corner into the path of Carvajal, who executed a superb glancing header past Kobel in the 74th minute, and a club synonymous with this competition had struck first.<\/p>\n

Vin\u00edcius scored the killer second goal with a scuffed angled finish from Bellingham\u2019s pass, and Dortmund\u2019s brave fight had come to nothing.<\/p>\n

This was another far-from-vintage Los Blancos performance, but incredibly, it was enough to get the job done and secure what was surprisingly only a fourth LaLiga and European Cup double. It was also a fitting way for Kroos to end his club career before making his final playing sojourn at UEFA Euro 2024, winning a joint-record sixth European Cup\/UCL title, matching club legend Paco Gento\u2019s record.<\/p>\n
