The scenario of the 2023-2024 Champions League final took place in a very cruel way for Dortmund. They played better for more than 70 minutes as they created many scoring opportunities but ultimately lost.

The German representative played confidently and had many opportunities to open the score in the first half. The first was Adeyemi’s offside trap in the 21st minute. He passed goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois but pushed the ball too far. and couldn’t score. A few minutes later, it was Fullkrug’s turn to send the ball into the post.

Besides the poor finishing, Dortmund was also overwhelmed by the excellence of Courtois, a goalkeeper who only made his first appearance in the Champions League this season. He made flying saves as if he had never been seriously injured and had to sit out nearly the entire season.

In the second half, when Dortmund persisted in attacking, Courtois maintained his focus to block Fullkrug’s dangerous header in the 63rd minute.

Keeping a clean sheet, Real Madrid began to show the bravery of the “king” of the Champions League. They regained their position in the game, getting closer to Dortmund’s goal. And the important thing is that Carlo Ancelotti’s army knows how to score goals. Carvajal opened the scoring in the 74th minute with a powerful shot after a corner kick from Toni Kroos.

Losing a goal in a position of not being able to take advantage of opportunities caused Dortmund to become confused. They completely lost the position of the game and their playing style was also full of confusion. This helped Real Madrid score another goal in the 83rd minute.

Bellingham stole the ball after a careless pass from Ian Maatsen and then assisted Vinicius to score. The 2-0 victory helped Real Madrid bring home the 15th Champions League trophy in history.
