Real Madrid Makes History with Record-Breaking 15th Champions League Title

Real Madrid cemented their status as a football dynasty with a 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund at Wembley Stadium in London, securing their 15th Champions League title and setting numerous records in the process.

The Spanish giants’ triumph was sealed through two second-half goals, with Dani Carvajal opening the scoring in the 74th minute.

Vinicius Junior’s second goal in the final match marked his participation in 23 goals in his last 23 Champions League matches, and his involvement in scoring 13 goals in the last 13 knockout stage matches he played. 

This victory solidified Real Madrid’s position as the first team to win 15 Champions League titles, with a remarkable win rate of 15 out of 18 times they’ve played in the final.

Carlo Ancelotti made history by becoming the first coach to win five Champions League titles, with all five wins coming in the six times he’s played in the final as a coach.

He also became the third coach to win three Champions League titles with one team, joining Bob Beasley and Zinedine Zidane.

Toni Kroos, Nacho, and Luka Modric equaled Real Madrid legend Gento’s record of six Champions League titles, while Brahim Diaz became the third Moroccan player to win the title.

Five other champions with direct ties to Africa.

Additionally, Real Madrid became the second Spanish team to win the Champions League without losing, following Barcelona’s achievement in the 2005/06 season.
