Real Madrid on Sunday defeated Borussia Dortmund by 2-0 in the UEFA Champions League 2023-24 final to win their 15th European Cup/Champions League title.
Although the first half was dominated by the German side, they could not find the net despite chances from Adeyemi and Fullkrug. Real Madrid were lucky to have Courtois in the goal, who made some good saves in the first half.
In the second half, Real Madrid started showing their best game and right after a change from Dortmund's coach Edin Terzić, Carvajal found the net with a header to give Real Madrid the lead. 9 minutes later, Vinicius Jr. scored after a rare mistake from Matsen and extended the lead.
With this win, Carlo Ancelotti now has become the only manager to win the Champions League a record 6 times. Meanwhile, Toni Kroos, Dani Carvajal, Luka Modric and Nacho became the only players to win the title six times in the Champions League era.
