Real Madrid are back on the summit of European Football, with the Spanish giants defeating Borussia Dortmund 1-0 in the Champions League final.

The Galácticos have had yet another stunning season, adding this prestigious trophy to their LaLiga triumph, in which they finished 10 points ahead of bitter rivals FC Barcelona.

Despite Dortmund creating the better of the chances in a tense encounter, Real Madrid got the opener on the night through Daniel Carvajal in the 74th minute, getting onto the end of a corner unmarked and directing his header into the bottom corner.

Vinicius Junior coolly bagged a second goal in the 83rd minute after a massive mistake at the back from Dortmund to secure the win.

For Borussia Dortmund, it is a heartbreaking end to what has been an inspiring run in Europe this season.
