I must say my bet worked out as predicted that all in all Real Madrid would not disappoint in the final. A little review of the first half, Dortmund repeatedly had opportunities that were almost 99% considered big goals but the goalposts did not approve of the goal. Then in the second half Ancelotti was really careful because when Adeyemi was withdrawn he was replaced by Reus where throughout the first half until the 70th minute Adeyemi contribution was very dangerous for Real Madrid's defense. 4 minutes after Reus came on, Real Madrid had the opportunity to penetrate the Dortmund defense, activating Rodrygo and Bellingham as support in midfield. This victory was clearly Ancelotti's smart tactic in taking advantage of opportunities.

Oh, I almost forgot that the Underdog theory turned out to be just bullshi* . It doesn't apply at all to Madrid. No team has won 15 UCL trophies apart from Real Madrid, no player has won 6 UCL trophies besides Kroos, Carvajal, Nancho and Modric, and no another coach has won 5 UCL trophies besides Ancelotti.

That's it. Real Madrid became the European champions for the 15th time. Twice more than any other team in Europe. They were also the deserving ones as they defeated almost all of great competitors to take the title. The toughest competitor they had to go through might have been Manchester City followed by Bayren Munich.
Dortmumd too is a great team and gave Real Madrid a good run for the money. They created equally great chances but Real Madrid were a better team on the field.
Real Madrid had to wait till 74th minute to score a goal from a heading of Dani Carvajal. Dortmund were emotional and a lag in their defense made them lose their possession and Vinicius Junior score an easy one on one goal in the 83rd minute. Bad luck for Dortmund who reached the finals after 11 years and again got restricted to runner ups.

The UEFA Champions League final at Wembley happens to be one of the tough game to decide this season. It was built with tense momentum and the players performed their best. Borrusia Dortmund headcoach, Edin Terzic did his best to mapped out the solid winning strategy for the club but things just didn't go according to plans. Borrusia Dortmund messed up big time, they failed to utilized their goal scoring opportunities. While Real Madrid grabbed every possible chances for the big winnings.

Losing of chances doesn't automatically guarantee the opposite team winners because I have seen cases of teams losing all their chances and at the end result they still became winners but for this game I felt Dortmund actually just can't match the likes and quality playing of Real Madrid although the first half of the game was a bit shocking tough because Dortmund never actually showed that killler  instincts of showing that they really mean business. Real Madrid didn't come out all up against Dortmund in the first half maybe that was all part of plan as they executed plan which worked very well.

One of the best finals in a decade; it was a balance tie and an excellent game from both teams; as well as a proper tactical battle from both coaches at all; you can’t really fault any players or tactics to be frank.

In the end, someone has to win and Real Madrid being the most clinical has won the tie; another champions league in the bag; another big victory for los galatio

The Europa finals winner was a surprise to me and same with the FA Cup finals, but I was not surprised with the UCL final game as I expected Real Madrid to do it again as the most lucky club in history. It was a miracle that happened in the first half for Real Madrid because the ball hit the bar out and other chances were missed. The moment Dortmund was unable to make use of their chance, I knew it that they will not be able to win Real Madrid.

This is because if you have lost your chances those opportunities will turn around to your opponents and if they don't miss their, you are defeated. This was what happened, I knew it that if Real Madrid should have a good opportunity to net the post just as Dortmund had in the first half, they will score theirs, and that was what played out in the second half.

Congratulations to Real Madrid.

I knew that if Dortmund didn't establish a solid lead by halftime, they were likely to lose the game. While Guardiola is a good coach, Ancelotti operates on a higher level. It's puzzling how people overlook Ancelotti's consistent success and instead heap praise on Guardiola. Ancelotti has proven himself time and again with various clubs, managing both veteran and young players, and turning around teams that were written off.

While Dortmund were bit unlucky with that the ball hitting the post, I still think even if they scored that goal they probably will still lose because though they started well, it's an obvious fact that Real Madrid do become dangerous as match is about to end and we saw it today as the match goes by they became weaker and Real Madrid became much stronger and got the victory just like most of us expected.

Congratulations to Real Madrid. Before the match started, I knew Real Madrid would be winning the Champions League title this season. But seriously, Dortmund also played well in the match. They had lots of opportunities in the first half of the match, but they missed all, they couldn’t convert any of the opportunities they had into goals, which really affected them. But they really played well, especially in the first half of the match.

After Real Madrid scored their first goal, I knew nothing was left for Dortmund, so I stopped watching the match. I Just opened my livescore after few minutes, and I saw that Real Madrid had already added their second goal. If Dortmund had utilized the opportunities they had in the first half of the match, then Real Madrid might not have won the match. But once again, congratulations to Real Madrid.

The feeling of happiness that Real Madrid has achieved with a great coach, even though I am not a big fan of this club, I will still congratulate the strongest club on this success and I also want to congratulate Dortmund who have performed extraordinary even though they failed to win the title, but I believe In the coming season Dortmund will be stronger than this if they succeed in reaching the final again next season.

Actually, I also admit that Dortmund performed very well, but failed to take advantage of opportunities several times when they should have scored and I understand that perhaps Dortmund don't have as much experience as Real Madrid so they still had a little difficulty in this match.

Honestly, experience plays a good part in football, so even though Dortmund was performing greatly against Real Madrid tonight, I still believe that it was Real Madrid that will win the trophy. Real Madrid is the kind of team that can do surprise things at any time. So before the game started, we were aware that Real Madrid was the favourite team to win the game, unless something unexpected will just happen but I was not even thinking of any surprise in today's final.but the way that Dortmund performed tonight really surprised me because I was not expecting much from them do to their domestic performance statistics; they are not that in great form. If Dortmund had  had good experience attacking attackers today, it could have been a different story we will be discussing now. Real Madrid really deserved it, and that is why they won it. This is another great achievement for them. 

In first half we have good control by Borussia Dortmund with things were tens until 70 minutes because with this display of game I was sure they will keep things tight until 90 minutes, and we will have extra time but suddenly as usual Real Madrid having their way for the goals which started in 75th and Vinicious Jr is always ready for having his mark in the game which give 15th title to this one of the strongest mentality team in soccer world.
Don Carlo know how to rule the world with his strategy as he completed his second double in just three years with now he is going to have his name into UEFA history books for his successes.

From the beginning I knew this was what is going to happen because who is Dortmund when the all mighty Madrid is their and congratulations to those that place bet on Madrid for a straight win. And I knew that Madrid having experience is a dangerous part to take for Dortmund, Dortmund lack zero experience in the Champions League compared to Madrid i was even proposing 2:1 and Dortmund could not even score a single  goal. That is how dominating real Madrid was but am not surprised because I already know the outcome of the match even before it was played.

Madrid have archived a lot by trying to accumulating more trophies and they did good for their self because who would have expected real Madrid to remove Manchester City,  and then expect real Madrid to lose to Dortmund their is no way it would have worked. I was not afraid because I was so sure that Dortmund is going to get wiped. Things like this are not new and we know the outcome of the games already so congratulations to Real Madrid.

As expected from the best team in the world, when the 1 half ended I told myself that real madrid would win this game in the 2 half, I didn't see real madrid coming out of this game with a draw or defeat, especially playing against a weak opponent which is not at Real Madrid's level, Dortmund is to be congratulated for reaching the final of the European Champions League, but even before this game started they had no chance of beating Real Madrid in that game, the difference in squad between real madrid and dortmund are very big, real madrid all have good players on the field and as reserves, while in the dortmund squad there are some good players who are still not at the same high level as real madrid's players



in this game dortmundo had no chance of winning, real madrid has a good defense in the European champions league games, and also has a good attack, this makes real madrid very strong in the european champions league games and knowing that the Most of Real Madrid's players will continue next season and with the arrival of Mbappe I see that next season Real Madrid will once again be champions of the European Champions League and La Liga.

congratulations real madrid, best team in the world

Borrussia Dortmund had the game in that first half, they could have scored four goals and even more in that first half but they're no different from bottlers and gamblers this night. Seven good chances in the first half of the game but they couldn't score a single goal.
Füllkrugg, Adeyemi and Brandt should have done better truthfully.

So much hullabaloo around Jadon Sancho who was nowhere to be found in this game. He didn't show up for himself and the club in this particular game.
Congratulations to Real Madrid. I do think that right now, Vinicius Junior is the right candidate for the Ballon d'or award and Competition but to be won next season.

Congratulations to Nacho Fernandez and Toni Kroos as they'll all leave the club ahead of a new season.

Congratulations to Real Madrid they have don it again by lifting the Champions league trophy 🏆 for the 15th times now, they have really make their fans proud tonight what nice performance from Real Madrid after playing first half draw with Dortmund although in the second half they distroy Dortmund 2 goals down, however as long as champions league is concerned Real Madrid remain our favorite club in the world. Once again congrats to them.

And Real Madrid won the UEFA Champions League once again and they proved that they deserve it by showing their legendary performance. And fans already predicted Real madrid as Winner But i must say Borussia Dortmund Played well. Even in first half, Dortmund clearly showed their good performance and they have a hard fight. They didn't goal but they stopped Real Madrid from Score. And in second half, both team were more dedicated and Dortmund took many serious steps for goal by any cost but unfortunately they can't score. i expected from Real Madrid to score atleast 1 goal but  D. Carvajal 74' and V. Júnior 83' just made it. Although Dortmund didn't lose their mentality and they keep trying but sad for them as they failed to have a single goal till last minutes. Well congrats Real Madrid for won 15th time.

Wow. Kudos to the big guys in white for making it happen again like usual. Ancelotti have also bagged another trophy which is the Almighty Champions league in his career as a manager. He's able to hold this guy's to the finish ones again and albeit my interest in routing for Dortmund, it didn't make them win and now Real Madrid has done it again for the 15th time. Well done to the guys in white.

It was a very tense match, with Dortmund, in my opinion, they dominated the game and I think Real Madrid had difficulties with Dortmund's performance in the first half, even though Real Madrid occasionally made attacks, Dortmund's defense was difficult to penetrate so Real Madrid's attacks were often thwarted and not can penetrate Dortmund's defense. also with Real Madrid's attack line being pressed tightly by Dortmund's defense. Until the first half ended, no goals occurred even though Dortmund had a chance that almost made Real Madrid miss a goal, but Real Madrid still had luck and no goals occurred in the first half.

As the second half of the match progressed, Real Madrid showed their winning mentality by being able to dominate the second half of the match and finally being able to break into Dortmund's goal with a corner kick which was met by Carvajal and followed by Vinicius. Even though Dortmund was able to break into Real Madrid's goal, it was illegal and the score remained until the end of the match. This is Real Madrid who have a winning mentality that has never lost in the final. However, this match will be the end of Toni Kroos in the world of football and this match will be a farewell for Real Madrid and Toni Kroos. Apart from that, what Dortmund has done is good and can be appreciated. There is no doubt that Real Madrid has a winning mentality.
Congratulations to Real Madrid for their victory and ready to lift the trophy.

Dortmund's chances were not too bad in today's match and there were even several times they had very good chances but it was very unfortunate with the many opportunities they had but apart from Courtois who did his job very well in this match, the Dortmund players also wasted a little opportunity that could have been a goal and it backfired where in today's match Madrid could again succeed in getting a victory and of course locking their 15th trophy in the Champions League.
The results are very good but for this final result, many have predicted from the start that Madrid will definitely be able to get a victory in this final.

In the 70th minute, Madrid were completely different and Carvajal unlocked Madrid's confidence in the game with a well-placed header that put Madrid ahead but also caused Dortmund to lose concentration and fall further behind with the second goal.

There was a consolation goal but unfortunately it was ruled out by the referee for offside which put Dortmund straight back down in today's game.
The last 20 minutes have always been Ancelotti's secret weapon which is very difficult for other clubs to stop and inevitably Dortmund must recognize Madrid's superiority in this final.

Congratulations Madrid for their 15th trophy as well as increasingly leaving their competitors for the trophy in the Champions League because they seem to want to show who is the king in the big Champions League competition now.
