Real Madrid were crowned champions of Europe for a record-enhancing 15th time after beating Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in Saturday’s final at Wembley Stadium.
Dortmund were the better side in the first half and came very close to breaking the deadlock on multiple occasions.
Karim Adeyemi spurned a golden one-on-one chance before Niclas Fullkrug hit the post.
But Madrid took their chances after the interval.
Dani Carvajal headed them ahead from a Toni Kroos corner in the 74th minute.
Vinicius Junior then put the game to bed nine minutes later after being set up by Jude Bellingham.
