The Spanish giants showcased their prowess with a solid performance, securing their 15th Champions League title. Spanish defender Dani Carvajal and Brazilian attacker Vinicius Jr. etched their names in the scorecard, netting crucial goals in the 74th and 83rd minutes, respectively, to seal the win for Los Merengues.
Despite an early chance for Dortmund's German striker Niclas Fullkrug, who narrowly missed the lead by striking the crossbar in the 23rd minute, Real Madrid maintained their composure throughout the match.
