Real Madrid defeat Bayern Munich
Real Madrid beat Borussia Dormund 2-0 in the Champions League final
Real Madrid beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 to win a record-extending 15th UEFA Champions League and qualify for the Coupe Intercontinentale de la FIFA.
Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Junior struck late to grab Real Madrid a hard-fought win over Borussia Dortmund and a record-extending 15th UEFA Champions League crown. It also sent Carlo Ancelotti’s into the final of the Coupe Intercontinentale de la FIFA™ (FIFA Intercontinental Cup), where they will play one of the champions of the five other confederations. Al Ain, Al Ahly and Auckland City have already qualified for the competition. Dortmund, the overwhelming underdogs, had the better of the first half. They had several chances, with Karim Adeyemi spurning the best of them and Thibaut Courtois making one fine save. The second half swung from end to end. The deadlock was finally broke when Vinicius Jr executed an outrageous piece of trickery to win a corner, and from it Carvajal’s thumping header beat Gregor Kobel. Vinicius quickly doubled Madrid’s lead after neat work from Jude Bellingham. The result ensured the long-serving right-back, along with Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and Nacho, equalled Francisco Gento’s record of six European Cup/Champions League titles. Madrid have, astonishingly, emerged triumphant on the last nine occasions they have played in the fixture.
