Real Madrid v Dortmund LIVE: Champions League final score, result and reaction after Vinicius Jr caps win

3 mins: Calm from Rudiger and Courtois to play it out from the back. Vini Jr. plays the diagonal before Carvajal loses it to Maatsen, who prevents the corner.

2 mins: It was three pitch invaders who stopped play, apparently. An interesting start to the game.

We’re back underway though, and Bellingham wins the first free-kick of the night.

1 min: A pitch invader within the first minute, and we have a break in play already before anything else can happen.

Dortmund get us underway! Both teams attacking the end that their fans are sitting in during the first half.

The anthem plays and we’re moments away from kick-off.

Dortmund unchanged from the side that beat PSG in the semi-finals, while Real Madrid have been forced into bringing in Thibaut Courtois and Eduardo Camavinga for Lunin and Aurelien Tchouameni.

Teams in the tunnel now, with both sets of players looking focused.

For some, this is the only chance they’ll get to touch footballing immortality. For others, they’re within hours of winning their sixth Champions League – and almost everything in between.

Nervy times, even if the faces don’t show it.

The Lenny Kravitz performance is almost out of the way, so the real show will be starting soon.

Some would say “the game’s gone”.

Less than 10 minutes until kick-off in the capital.

Much of the build-up to the game has focused on the two English starlets, Jude Bellingham and Jadon Sancho, and their respective seasons.

And speaking on TNT Sports, ex-United manager Jose Mourinho has claimed Erik ten Hag must accept some of the blame for Jadon Sancho’s failure at Manchester United.

“For sure, the kid made mistakes, but for sure, also his manager was not able to get the best out of him,” Mourinho told TNT Sports at Wembley Stadium.

“As a player we know his talent, we know what he can do, there are no doubts about it.”

Much is being made of the bouncing Dortmund supporters, some of whom have been in the stadium for hours already.

Tifos, flags and banners aplenty in that end, including a banner referencing the club’s recent sponsorship deal with an arms manufacturer.

In response to the deal, Dortmund’s chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke said: “Security and defense are fundamental cornerstones of our democracy. That is why we believe it is the right decision to take a very close look at how we protect these cornerstones.

“Especially today, when we see every day how freedom must be defended in Europe. We should deal with this new normality.”
