UEFA Champions League Final, at Wembley Stadium in London, England and in front of 86,212 spectators, Real Madrid clinched its 15th title with a clear 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund, with goals from Dani Carvajal and Vini Junior.

Real Madrid celebrates its 15th anniversary and equals its best era in history.

Borussia Dortmund dominated Real Madrid, who didn't even have a shot on goal and were miraculously saved, in a first half in which they dominated. They missed a one-on-one and had a shot that hit the post, but were unable to take the lead, only due to a lack of accuracy.

Karim Adeyemi tried to dribble past Courtois - later saved by Daniel Carvajal - and Niclas Füllkrug hit the woodwork, which caused great concern for Ancelotti, completely challenged by his opponent and diminished to the limit.

The Belgian goalkeeper also made two good saves down low to prevent goals from Adeyemi and Marcel Sabitzer.

The second half took on a different flavor when Carvajal burst from behind to smash a volley into the defense. It was an early warning, followed by a brilliant save from Gregor Kobel after a foul on Kroos.

Madrid, little by little, but with the luck of a champion, like Courtois's save from Füllkrug's header, was back in the game. They had arrived just in time, unhurriedly, simmering the match.

However, Borussia Dortmund's yellow wall vanished when Carvajal blasted home a Kroos corner at the near post. The youth academy graduate, the man who laid the foundation stone for the new training ground, was the man who unblocked the night.

Fear, which is often dictated by luck, shifted to the other side. The pressure, on the shoulders of the Decimoquinta, shifted to the inexperienced Germans, who gave away the 0-2 and the final.

Ian Maatsen, with a catastrophic delivery at the back, left Jude Bellingham—one of Real Madrid's weak points—and Vinícius in a two-on-one situation. The Englishman, who had missed the second moments earlier, connected with the Brazilian, who with a weak shot gave the final bite to the title.

The 15th Champions League title in the trophy cabinet of the greatest club in the history of the European Cup. Kroos's farewell, his work done, left with his head pointing to the badge, and the club that, as of this Saturday at Wembley, has another title to its name.

In the 72nd minute, concern began to creep into the Macul team's ranks with Felipe Reynero's goal, who took advantage of a long ball from the back, beat Erick Wiemberg, and finished low past Cortés. But just a few minutes later, the white fans learned of the draw the university team had suffered, a result that was enough for them to be crowned champions.

The jubilation for the "Albas" would be complete in the 80th minute. With the team focused on the opposition, Lucas Cepeda sent a low cross into the box that found Esteban Pavez, who immediately passed to Arturo Vidal and with a right-footed shot that went just inside Espinoza's left post, converted the long-awaited equalizer. Ultimately, the score remained unchanged, neither in Atacama nor at the National Stadium, with which Colo Colo confirmed its two-point advantage over Universidad de Chile and, with 67 points, was proclaimed the new champion of Chilean football and lowered its 34th star, unleashing wild celebrations from its fans.
