Real Madrid secured their 15th Champions League title in a thrilling encounter at Wembley, overcoming a valiant Borussia Dortmund side. This victory also marked Carlo Ancelotti's record-extending fifth win as a coach in the competition.

The match was a tale of two halves, with Dortmund dominating the first period. Karim Adeyemi missed two significant chances, and Niclas Fullkrug struck the post, while Thibaut Courtois, recalled to the starting lineup, stood firm with several crucial saves.

Despite Dortmund's early dominance, Real Madrid found their stride in the second half. The breakthrough came 16 minutes from time when Dani Carvajal headed in from a corner, giving Madrid the lead.

The win was sealed nine minutes later when Vinicius Jr latched onto a pass from Jude Bellingham and raced clear to score.

The triumph capped a remarkable debut season at Real Madrid for England's Jude Bellingham, highlighting his growing influence on the team.

However, it was a night of disappointment for his compatriot Jadon Sancho, who is on loan at Dortmund from Manchester United.
