LONDON — Real Madrid withstood a Borussia Dortmund barrage to win the Champions League for a 15th time as Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Junior struck late in a 2-0 win at Wembley on Saturday.
Right-back Carvajal headed in from Toni Kroos' corner on 74 minutes before Vinicius fired home to extend the Spanish giants' record as the most successful club in Champions League history. Madrid have now won their last nine European Cup finals and won the competition six times in the last 11 seasons.However, not for the first time in that run, they had to rely on some good fortune as underdogs Dortmund were left to bitterly regret not making the most of their first-half chances.
Dortmund's best chances fell to Adeyemi as Carvajal could not deal with the German international's pace.A brilliant pass by Mats Hummels put Adeyemi clean through, but he took a heavy touch under pressure from Courtois and ran too wide before his shot was blocked by Carvajal.Fuellkrug's barrel-chested physique has made him a fan favourite in his first season at Dortmund.
