It then went from bad to worse for Dortmund in the 83rd minute when Ian Maatsen’s error was punished by Vinicius Junior, who made it 2-0 to the La Liga team.
The win means Real Madrid have now won their fifteenth Champions League title, while Dortmund still await their second trophy.
Speaking with TNT Sports after the win, Real Madrid and England midfielder, Jude Bellingham said:”I’ve always dreamed of playing in these games. You go through life and there are so many people saying you can’t do things and days like today remind you why…
“When it gets hard at times you start to wonder if it’s all worth it. Nights like tonight make it all worth it.
“I was ok until I saw my Mum and Dad’s faces. The nights they could have been home at seven o’clock but they are still out at eleven or twelve taking me to football. My little brother there who I am trying to be a role model for too. Hard to put it into words, best night of my life.”
