Vinicius Junior scored to seal a record-extending 15th European Cup for Real Madrid after a 2-0 win against Borussia Dortmund in the final on Saturday.
The Brazilian forward doubled Madrid’s lead in the 83rd minute at Wembley Stadium, nine minutes later after Dani Carvajal headed the Spanish giants ahead.
The victory secured a record-extending fifth Champions League title for coach Carlo Ancelotti, his third with Madrid.

Meanwhile, Carvajal, Luka Modric, Toni Kroos and Nacho have won European club football’s biggest prize six times, equaling the benchmark set by Madrid icon Paco Gento.
Dortmund paid the price for failing to make the most of their dominance in the first half as Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois made a series of saves and Niclas Fullkrug hit the post.
Madrid took full advantage after the break.
Carvajal met Kroos’ corner at the near post in the 74th and headed past Dortmund keeper Gregor Kobel.
Jude Bellingham almost doubled the lead moments later, but then turned supplier when he slotted into Vinicius. With only Kobel to beat, the attacker fired his shot into the far corner and raced away in celebration.
