The first breakthrough came in the 74th minute when right-back Dani Carvajal rose above the defense to head in a precise corner from Toni Kroos. Just minutes later, Vinicius Junior sealed the win by firing the ball into the far corner, ensuring Madrid's place at the top of European football once again.
This victory marks Real Madrid's ninth consecutive win in European Cup finals and their sixth title in the last 11 seasons, underscoring their unparalleled consistency and excellence in the competition.
