Borussia Dortmund sing Adele in changing room after reaching Champions League final

Real Madrid were crowned kings of Europe for a record-extending 15th time with a 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final at Wembley on Saturday.

Huge favourites going in to the game, the Spanish side were outplayed for long periods but broke Dortmund’s resistance with late goals from Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Jr.

Veteran right back Carvajal glanced in a header from a Toni Kroos corner in the 74th minute and from that moment Carlo Ancelotti’s side sparked into life.

Vinicius Jr slid home Real’s second in the 83rd minute to silence the yellow-clad Dortmund fans who had created a wall of noise throughout the final.

It was hard on the German side who missed several good first-half chances, the best of which saw Niclas Fuellkrug hit the post from close range. Relive all the action and follow the reaction from Wembley below:

45 mins: Ancelotti does not look happy on the sidelines. Edin Terzic doesn’t either, but he’ll be the happier of the two.

Four minutes of added time here.

43 mins: Hummels wins another battle with Vini Jr. as the Brazilian looked to skip into the box, but the German centre-back gets a throw-in from a sliding tackle.

42 mins: Lovely from Sancho as he collects it on the right wing with his back to goal and skips past Kroos, but his cross is cleared.

Sabitzer is the latest to be booked for over-protesting after Real are awarded a free-kick.

41 mins: Brandt finds himself on the left wing, and he cuts outside and squares it to Sabitzer. The Austrian has few options so elects to shoot from distance, forcing Courtois into a straightforward save down to his right.

39 mins: Camavinga is the latest Madrid player to clear a dangerous cross, this one from Ryerson.

Madrid try and counter and Hummels brings down Vini Jr. – strangely, Schlotterbeck is booked for remonstrating with the referee.

37 mins: Madrid have had more possession but the best chances have all fallen to the German side. Vini Jr. Bellingham and Rodrygo have been quiet so far.

Their latest foray forward ends in Adeyemi knocking the ball out for a goal kick off Carvajal.

35 mins: Exceptionally harsh on Vini Jr. there, and he’ll have to be careful now.

A little bit of calm now after a frantic 10 minutes or so. Madrid are pressing high as they hope to force a Dortmund mistake in their third.

34 mins: Rodrygo combines well with Carvajal and valverde, but the Spaniard eventually ruins the move with a heavy touch.

Right after, Vini Jr. is the first player to be booked after he’s late with a sliding challenge on Kobel, who’d taken too much time on the ball when letting it run across him.

31 mins: Dortmund have certainly grown into the game, but might they regret not taking their chances?

On second look, that Fullkrug chance looked like it was offside, but the German fans will take a lot of encouragement from their side’s opening stages.

The German side attack again and Ryerson and Sancho combine down the left, but Mendy is fouled as he tried to win the ball.
