Borussia Dortmund
Gregor Kobel Brought on by Vinicius in the first half and had to be alert to save a Kroos free-kick. There was no chance with Carvajal’s goal. 7
Julian Ryerson Given the unenviable task of marking Vinícius, the Norwegian defender looked dangerous when he got forward. 7
Mats Hummels Amazing center ball to set up Adeyemi and showed his vast experience. I thought about dealing with Carvajal’s header on the goal line. 7
Nico Schlotterbeck The defender came up with a vital touch to deny Bellingham what was sure to be the main goal in the end. 6
Ian Maatsen The Chelsea loanee cleared off the line to keep out Carvajal’s effort but conceded a corner which led to the decisive first goal. 6
Marcel Sabitzer He took on one of the invaders on the field and kept fighting in the middle of the field. He looked devastated when his side fell behind. 7
Emre Can The captain was a reassuring presence in midfield as Dortmund dominated the first half, but the former Liverpool man was missing. 6
Jaden Sancho A good night with only an occasional glance at his talent. He still looks a different player to the one who left Manchester United in January. 6
Julian Brandt Wasted Dortmund’s first goal, but full of the energy that epitomized his team’s fearless approach from the start. 7
Karim Adeyemi Wasted a golden opportunity in the first half when he crossed, but was a constant threat with his electric pace and guile. 7
Niklas Fuelkrug Desperately unlucky not to score when his shot came back off the post and again when Courtois saved his header. 7
Subs: Marco Reus (for Adeyemi 72) No fairytale ending to his last appearance for the club. there is no; Doniel Malen (for box 80) there is no; Sebastien Haller (for Brandt 82) there is no; Jamie Bynoe-Gittens (for Sancho 87) there is no
Real Madrid
Thibaut Courtois He needed to be at his best to keep Dortmund out and showed no signs of the injuries that have blighted his season. Brilliant save to deny Füllkrug’s header. 8
Dani Carvajal Had his hands full with the lively Adeyemi and made up for missing a great chance from a corner earlier in the second half by scoring a vital goal. 8
Antonio Rudiger It wasn’t his most influential game as he struggled to contain Fühlkrug, but he was the hero in the penalty shoot-out win over Manchester City in the semi-final. 6
Nacho Sixth Champions League final and sixth victory. The veteran defender makes up for his lack of speed with superb anticipation. 7
Ferland Mendy Blazing speed got Madrid out of trouble on more than one occasion and provided excellent support for Vinicius on the left flank. 6
Eduardo Camavinga Unlucky not to score with a brilliant shot from long range. The France midfielder has become one of the best in the world in his position. 8
Federico Valverde Struggled to establish himself in the first half but found his rhythm after the break. Incredible durability. 7
Toni Kroos A reliable presence in his last game at club level. He exudes class and earned his standing ovation when he was replaced by Modric. 9
Jude Bellingham He looked at home on the biggest stage, but it also wasn’t as usual. I missed a golden chance to seal the win late on. 6
Rodrigo He couldn’t reach the heights of compatriot Vinicius, but the 23-year-old won the corner that led to the opening goal. 7
Vinicius Junior Went through his repertoire of tricks to make Dortmund’s defense feel dizzy. Finished the night with a superb finish for his goal. 9
Reserves: Luka Modric (for Kroos 85) there is no; Joselu (for Bellingham 85) there is no; Eder Militao (for Rodrygo 89) there is no; Lucas Vasquez (for Vinícius 90) there is no
