In the final, Madrid triumphed 2-0 against Borussia Dortmund thanks to goals from Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Junior.
Thibaut Courtois was imperious throughout the match, making several decisive saves to keep his team afloat. His performance allowed Real Madrid to remain solid in defense and manage Dortmund’s attacks.
Vinicius seals Dortmund’s fate
The match swung in favor of Real Madrid in the 74th minute when Carvajal opened the scoring. Vinicius Junior then hit the nail on the head in the final minutes of the match: following a loss of the ball by Dortmund near their area, Jude Bellingham recovered the ball and served Vinicius, who did not fail to finish with his left foot.

Je veux rester pour toujours ici comme Kroos, Modric, Carvajal ou Nacho. 🗣️🇧🇷🤍 »
