Borussia Dortmund 0-2 Real Madrid: Carlo Ancelotti Turns 65 in Style

Real Madrid Clinch 15th Champions League Title

Carlo Ancelotti's Charges Too Strong for Young Borussia Dortmund

Real Madrid extended their record-setting UEFA Champions League title count to 15 with a dominant 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund on Saturday at Wembley Stadium in London.

The match marked a milestone for Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti, who celebrated his 65th birthday on Wednesday. The Italian tactician became the first coach to win four Champions League titles, surpassing Bob Paisley and Zinedine Zidane with three titles each.

Real Madrid's victory was built upon clinical finishing and a solid defensive performance. Vinícius Júnior opened the scoring in the 20th minute when he slotted home a pass from Karim Benzema. Marco Asensio sealed the win in the 69th minute with a powerful drive into the top corner.

Borussia Dortmund started brightly but faded as the match progressed. The German side had their chances but failed to convert their opportunities. Erling Haaland, in particular, was well-marshalled by Real Madrid's defense and was unable to make a significant impact.

The victory marks Real Madrid's second Champions League triumph in three years and extends their dominance in Europe's top club competition. For Borussia Dortmund, it is a disappointing end to a season that promised so much. However, they can take solace in reaching their first Champions League final since 2013 and will be determined to return to the top of the European stage in the future.

As Real Madrid celebrates its latest triumph, Carlo Ancelotti stands tall as the undisputed master of the Champions League. His tactical nous and ability to motivate his players have earned him a place among the greatest coaches in the history of the game.
