Champions League: Real Madrid cap '10/10 season' with 15th title

Champions League: Real Madrid concludes the 10/10 season with the fifteenth title

         Few groups faced Real Madrid in the Champions League final with as much conviction as Borussia Dortmund showed at Wembley on Saturday night.

Despite struggling and shielding for the huge bulk of the final, and clinging to dear life at times, Real Madrid would cruise out of London with a record-extending 15th European Cup after late goals from Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Junior handed Los Blancos victory. Winning 2-0 and breaking Dortmund's hearts.

It was a particularly harsh result for Dortmund's Ian Maatsen, who needlessly missed a corner kick to Carvajal's header at one point recently which gifted a real possession to Vinicius' goal just minutes later.

After a night of mostly toil, it was once again a true celebration of the constant screaming in the Champions League final, with fans in a white wall singing their top-notch set.

Genin have not been thrashed in a Champions League final since losing 1-0 to Liverpool in 1981, currently a run of nine progressive victories that has surpassed 43 for a long time and taken the club's total to 15 - more than doubling the total and qualifying second-placed Milan.

Dortmund regrets the missed opportunities

The behavior on the field was decidedly diverse before kick-off. The famous 'yellow wall' was sounding good about an hour before the transfer began, as it was carried brick by brick, fan by fan from Dortmund to Wembley without missing a beat.

Vinicius discovered that the Dortmund fans were shouting the real score for Real Madrid, and Vinicius made an early sweep of his hand towards those fans in white to attract the booming thunder from them.

Aside from this outburst, it was the Dortmund fans who caused all the internal commotion in the first ten minutes; Their incessant, dizzying cheers fill the somber London sky above Wembley Stadium.

There must be few scenes in football more immersive than facing Real Madrid in the Champions League final.

But Dortmund was brave early. Edin Terzic's side passed the ball gamely from the back, despite the fact that a handful of particularly unsafe passes almost gave away a truly talented possession.

It was the team's fluid passing that created the first real chance of the final, but Julian Brandt caught the ball at his feet and deflected his shot horribly wide as Thibaut Courtois shot inside the box.

The move sparked a whirlwind of great opportunities for Dortmund.

Niklas Volkrug's header from close range hit the post and rolled agonizingly over the goal line, while Karim Adeyemi had two great one-on-one chances but failed to convert either.

Real Madrid shows strength

Over the course of a long period, Genin has developed an unerring skill at creating elusive comebacks within the Hero Alliance.

Defender Nacho once said the team had "magic" on European evenings like this, but last night it felt as if there were some strong obstacles preventing Dortmund from scoring.

The missed opportunities did nothing to lift the spirits of Dortmund fans, as nearly 40,000 of them were jumping in unison to rock the Wembley establishments.

It was a completely dominant start to Dortmund's half, the team paying no attention to Real Madrid's exceptional record and air of invincibility in this competition.

Dortmund's players were met with a stunning thunder of approval when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half. However, the real fans were standing in stunned silence. As they were in most of them at the beginning by half.

The group looked not only protectively shaky but completely toothless going forward, with each attack being comfortably blocked by the Dortmund defence.

It is truly abnormal to see Haqiqi seriously floundering in the Champions League, although there is still a strong feeling that Dortmund will eventually be sent off to rue all those missed opportunities.

There were some early signs of life from the men in white early in the second half - Toni Kroos's free-kick was shockingly cleared by Gregor Kupil - but Dortmund came back.

The group maintained control in the first 20 minutes and Volkrug had another great chance which Courtois wasted.

The Belgian side produced one of the exceptional performances ever in the Champions League final when Guenon beat Liverpool twice in a long time, and were at their best again after returning from injury in time for the match.
