The Belgian goalkeeper, after the long stop due to injury, saves the Blancos. Vinicius shoots and scores (by Giorgio Dusi)
Kobel 6.5 He makes his first real save at the beginning of the second half, then he performs at least a couple of half-miracles to prevent the boat from sinking, in vain. He couldn’t do more than that.
Ryerson 5.5 He had little awe of Mbappé and also showed courage with Vini, who however still only showed him the plaque.
Hummels 6.5 Punctual doubles and sublime verticalizations, finishes from someone who, even at 35, doesn’t feel inferior to anyone. And he’s right, even if in the end when the teams stretch he feels tired and commits a couple of fouls.
Schlotterbeck 6.5 He never seems to be in trouble: he finishes with his head held high.
Maatsen 5 Erases 82 excellent minutes with the unforgivable error that ends the match.
Can 5.5 Real leaves him space to set and ends up being the weak link in the yellow and black dribble. Haller (35′ st) ng
Sancho 5.5 He turns on the light especially in the first half, but the recovery was rather evanescent. Bynoe-Gittens (42′ st) ng
Sabitzer 6.5 Important breaks and constant danger between the lines: sumptuous first half, the warning for a few too many protests makes him slow down as the minutes pass.
Brandt 6 He fires blanks at the first opportunity, then starts to get serious with important bursts to bring the ball up. Malen (35′ st) ng
Adeyemi 5 He continues to hammer down the wing, keeping his position high and continuously sprinting forward, but he has two goals on his conscience which weigh too much in the final calculation. Reus (27 ‘st) 5.5 Enters the pitch and two minutes later scores for Real Madrid: his last match becomes a huge uphill battle.
Füllkrug 6.5 Always dangerous movements: the inside post, Courtois and the offside line deny him a goal that would have been sacrosanct at times. Madrid’s central defenders almost always lose him, but he emulates them by missing Carvajal on the decisive goal.
Team Terzic 6 Orderly, compact team that restarts quickly and always effectively. He suffers from dead balls at the near post and in fact is punished there: however, he really couldn’t have done more.
Courtois 7 There is a reason why Ancelotti put him on the field even after a very long injury, namely that he knows how to make decisive saves. And if Real reaches the 0-0 score in the 27th minute of the second half it is only thanks to him.
Carvajal 8 He always appears when needed, even to correct his mistakes. The most dangerous of him at the start of the second half: first he tries from a corner, then he puts it in the corner, gaining considerable satisfaction, a symbol of Madridism.
Rudiger 6.5 Starts a little lazy, then in the second half he unlocks himself and starts managing everything in the best way, in his own way.
Nacho 5.5 He comes out soundly defeated in the duel with Füllkrug, although luckily for him without losses.
Mendy 6 He often loses his measure, his speed allows him to make up for tactical gaps with some good diagonal shots.
Valverde 6.5 Aggressive also on the central players, trying to inspire some plays out of nowhere. I continue for the entire 90 minutes, even without showing off.
Camavinga 6 He immediately risks a yellow card because he rises too much and too late: a widespread trend, because he leaves too much space between the central defenders, almost zero filter during the first half. He becomes sumptuous after the lead, when spaces open up into which he can launch himself.
Kroos 7.5 He comes close to scoring twice from a free kick, leaving an indelible mark with the remote-controlled assist from a corner. The best way for the last one in his career with the Real Madrid shirt. Modric (40′ st) ng
Bellingham 5 The most awaited one doesn’t show up for the match: the 2-0 is also eaten after an invisible first half. He thanks his teammates for the cup. Joselu (40′ st) ng
Rodrygo 5.5 He is almost never seen nor is he too involved in the game, except for some individual ideas. Militao (46′ st) ng
Vinicius jr. 7.5 he moves to the right side to try his luck, but he does his best every time he touches the ball on the left. He welcomes Maatsen’s final gift to also end up on the scoreboard. Vazquez (49′ st) ng
Coach Ancelotti 7 The defense danced at a dizzying rate throughout the first half, but saw Dortmund’s weak point at the near post of the corners and punished it there, giving themselves their sixth Champions League title, their fifth as a coach.
