The German representative had 3 good opportunities, the most unfortunate of which was Adeyemi’s face-off in the 23rd minute. However, bravery in big matches is what Dortmund lacks.

Real has this in abundance. In the second half, coach Ancelotti and his team showed the bravery of a European football giant. The turning point came in the 74th minute when Carvajal headed the ball into Dortmund’s net. From here, Real completely took over the game.

Vinicius scored the decisive goal of the match

In the 83rd minute, Vinicius Jr. doubled the gap from a shot in the penalty area. Dortmund tried to push forward in the remaining minutes, but all they could do was score a header in an offside position from Fullkrug. 

A 2-0 victory for Real and the Royal team reached the top of Europe for the 15th time, a world football record.
