Yesterday Dortmund vs Real Madrid in UEFA Champions League Final match between two teams, Real Madrid team won the match by scoring 2 goals. Dortmund team could not score any goals for which Dortmund team lost this match. Real Madrid team player D. Carvajal scored the 1st goal in 74 minutes and V Júnior scored the 2nd goal in the 83rd minute to win the match.The performances of the two teams were equal at half time with no goals scored at half time.

You feel for Dortmund, especially Reus. The storybook finale to his career was possible. It's football for you. The more motivated team wins sometimes. Real Madrid is the hungriest. Success comes from Ancelotti's tactical genius and the players' never-say-die spirit. They've repeatedly shown why they're Champions League kings. 15 titles? It's insane! Remember, this Madrid team is different. They've changed. Ronaldo is no longer their savior. Youth are rising and making their mark. With Mbappe possibly arriving, Los Blancos' future seems brighter

I don’t see Real Madrid’s dream in the champions league fading away any time from now, just look at the young talents they’re grooming together, they will become unstoppable in the champions league and entire Europe if another big team don’t get their squad refilled as they do to theirs. The upcoming season is going to be a very exciting one for them as they strengthen their squad more for the bigger challenge coming for them next season without seeing much changes or greater changes from other teams. Los Blancos are not even close to winning this trophy back to back, they will again and I wouldn’t be surprised if they do once again.

They do have the strongest team in Europe next season for sure, but this never guarantees a win in the Champions League. When you recall how close all of the game were this season, the final included with Dortmund hitting the post and having so many chances in the first half, the Champions League is not a competition where simply the strongest squad on paper wins the trophy. If that was the case I don't know how many trophies Manchester City should have won by now. It is beyond doubt that Real Madrid is a big favorite along with maybe two or three other teams. But it was a penalty shootout against Manchester City and a head-shaking referee decision against Bayern Munich.

With Mbappe joining them they only get stronger, but as you could see on some days Mbappe hits the post instead of the goal like he did against Dortmund. While they are adding Mbappe to their team, they are losing Kroos and Modric, for some time most likely the strongest midfielding duo in the world. Can they be replaced 1:1? Modric was sitting on the bench a lot, but Kroos wasn't and Kroos, like Modric, has a very unique talent to exert control over the game. We might see a lot of changes coming in the next season. They did the right thing though and have been signing high quality players like Bellingham, but Bellingham isn't Kroos. I believe the gap that Kroos will leave is pretty huge and him leaving the team is a minus after all.
