It wasn’t meant to be: Borussia Dortmund had to admit defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League final. The final of the premier class in pictures.
Borussia Dortmund’s great Champions League dream has been shattered in a bitter way. Despite a strong performance and the best chances, the Black and Yellows lost the final on Saturday evening against the big favorite and now 15-time Champions League winner Real Madrid 0:2 (0:0). In front of 86,212 spectators at London’s Wembley Stadium, BVB should have taken the lead several times. The goals for a Madrid that had been disappointing for a long time were scored by Daniel Carvajal (74th minute) and Vinícius Júnior (83rd).
Real’s German international Toni Kroos won the Champions League for the sixth time in his last game for the Spanish champions before retiring after the European Championships and is now one of the five record winners of the most important European club title. Shortly before the end, the 34-year-old was substituted to loud cheers from the Real fans (86th minute). Marco Reus, on the other hand, said goodbye to Borussia Dortmund in his last BVB game without the greatest triumph.
