UCL FINAL 2023-24 BVB V/S REAL MADRID [02/06/2024]

Dani Carvajal and Vinícius Jr’s goal contribution puts Real Madrid ahead of Dortmund to extend their win streak to 15 UCL titles.

Borussia Dortmund appear in the first final since their loss to their rivals Bayern Munich in 2013.


Dortmund cleared the group of death, knocked out PSV in the knockout stages then later went on to win over Atletico Madrid and French champions PSG.


Real Madrid on the other hand, looked forward to securing their winning streak. 

Madrid defeated RB Leipzig before triumphing over Manchester City in the quarter-finals and Bayern Munich in the semis.


The Germans had a fantasy first half in every aspect of the game except finishing. They had a whole of 3 major attempts.


The first closest chance was from Karim Adeyemi in the 21st minute.


There were more chances from Niclas Füllkrug hitting the post, Julian Brandt taking his low shots and Marcel Sabitzer’s shots were saved by Courtois.


The counterattacks of Dortmund need to be appreciated.



Real Madrid's defence did look a little shaken but were lucky given the misses Dortmund had.


The second half started getting more intense as both teams pushed forward to clinch the title.


Kroos takes a free kick but is saved by the Dortmund goalkeeper.


Carvajal's attempt from the corner kick flicked over the crossbar.


Dortmund had 11 shots whereas Real Madrid had 6 shots by the 70th minute.


Real Madrid stepped up their game and were leading as Dani Carvajal registered his name on the scoresheet in the 74th minute.


Kroos from a set piece delivered his corner kick to Carvajal to take his perfect shot.


Dortmund completely lost their confidence after conceding the goal.

9 minutes after the first goal, Real Madrid registered their second goal.


Maatsen gave the ball away as there was miscommunication and Bellingham seized the opportunity. He fed the ball to Vinícius Jr. who had the perfect finish.

Making the score 2-0.

Niclas Füllkrug put one at the back of the net but the flag was raised.

The odds were definitely against Dortmund.

The match ended 2-0 as Real Madrid secured their 15th UCL.

Mumbai City FC in an attempt to take the lead in the 2nd leg began to attack. Odei Onaindia clears the ball on time. There was an appeal made by MCFC’s players for a handball against the FC Goa’s defender but the replay however showed it only brushed against his chest. Mumbai wasn't just stopping with the previous match’s aggregate score. Chhangte moved ahead with the ball and chipped the ball past Dheeraj but the ball deflected hitting the goal post but Vikram Partap Singh didn't make it in time. A huge relief for Goa.
