Champions League final: Real Madrid seals 15th European Cup after win over Borussia Dortmund

Vinicius Junior scored and sealed a record-extending 15th European Cup for Real Madrid after a 2-0 win against Borussia Dortmund in the final on Saturday.

The Brazil forward doubled Madrid's lead in the 83rd minute at Wembley Stadium, nine minutes after after Dani Carvajal headed the Spanish giant in front.

Jude Bellingham nearly doubled the lead moments later, but then turned provider when slipping in Vinicius. With just Kobel to beat, the forward fired his shot into the far corner and raced off in celebration.

Rock star Lenny Kravitz got the crowd going before kickoff with a pre-game show that included fireworks and some of his biggest hits like "Are You Gonna Go My Way."

It was Vinicius who was dancing after his goal effectively killed off Dortmund's hopes of pulling off one of the biggest Champions League upsets in recent memory.

Only a combination of Courtois and the frame of the goal kept the
