Spanish side Real Madrid have won the 2024 Champions League final by beating German club Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in a thrilling game on Saturday night at Wembley.

Dortmund’s brilliance shone throughout but they lacked the killer instinct.

Real, on the other hand, without being in their best display, showed resilience and their European pedigree and resilience to deal Dortmund a decisive blow with two goals in less than 10 minutes in the second half to clinch their 15th Champions League title.
