Carvajal, Vini spur Madrid to 15th UCL

Real Madrid overturned a rather first-half display with second-half dominance that saw them edge Borussia Dortmund to clinch a record 15th Champions League Title at Wembley.

Dortmund had put up a commendable outing in the first half but failed to take their chances, a mistake which came back to haunt them after the break.

As we have seen one too many times, when it comes to playing Real Madrid in the Champions League final, the trick is to take every chance, because when Madrid gets a chance, they capitalize on it, as shown by Dani Carvajal and Vini Jr, who set Madrid up for celebration with their goals in the 74th and 83rd minutes, respectively.

It was pure heartbreak for Dortmund who had hoped to send off club legend Marco Reus with a UCL winners medal, rather it was his German counterpart, Toni Kross, who waltzed with the big prize for the sixth time in what was his last dance with Real Madrid. 

Madrid coach on the other hand, also made history as the first coach to win the Champions League five times.
