Real Madrid v Dortmund LIVE: Latest score and updates from Champions League final
Real Madrid face Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final at Wembley Stadium tonight.
Los Blancos can win a 15th European crown, following a dramatic semi-final win over Bayern Munich, while BVB are bidding to win a second title on arguably the biggest stage in club football after upsetting Kylian Mbappe and PSG in the final four.
Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham are among the candidates for this year’s Ballon d’Or, knowing a win here paired with a fine performance could tip the balance their way ahead of Euro 2024 and the Copa America this summer.
While both teams have harnessed variety in their path to the final, relying on, at times, traditional No 9s in the shape of Joselu and Niclas Fullkrug.
In the dugout, Carlo Ancelotti can claim a fifth Champions League as a coach, with Edin Terzić looking to complete a famous journey from the Yellow Wall to the very top of European football with his boyhood club. Follow all the build-up, team news and latest updates from Wembley below:
Dortmund 0-0 Real Madrid – Champions League final
34 mins: Rodrygo combines well with Carvajal and valverde, but the Spaniard eventually ruins the move with a heavy touch.
Right after, Vini Jr. is the first player to be booked after he’s late with a sliding challenge on Kobel, who’d taken too much time on the ball when letting it run across him.

Dortmund 0-0 Real Madrid – Champions League final
31 mins: Dortmund have certainly grown into the game, but might they regret not taking their chances?
On second look, that Fullkrug chance looked like it was offside, but the German fans will take a lot of encouragement from their side’s opening stages.
The German side attack again and Ryerson and Sancho combine down the left, but Mendy is fouled as he tried to win the ball.

Dortmund 0-0 Real Madrid – Champions League final
27 mins: CLOSE! Chances for both sides!
Firstly, Vini Jr. beats Ryerson before swinging in the early cross, but Dortmund clear.
The German side break and Brandt slides the through ball into the path of Adeyemi, who’s got behind the Real defence and has the pace. He fires his shot too close to Courtois, and Fullkrug can’t get the right connection with his rebound header!

23 mins: CLOSE! Real are living a charmed life!
Two chances in quick succession for Dortmund. First, Sancho slips through Sabitzer, who cuts a cross back across goal which Adeyemi is inches away from meeting.
Right after, Sancho slides a pass through to Fullkrug, who breaks into the box and just manages to poke a shot past Courtois, but it comes off the inside of the post!

Dortmund 0-0 Real Madrid – Pitch invaders halt Champions League final
20 mins: CLOSE! So close to the opener for Dortmund!
Karim Adeyemi times his run perfectly to latch on to a through ball, and he’s one-on-one with Courtois. He knocks it past the Belgian but his touch was too heavy, he’s dragged it too wide, and he can’t get the shot on target!
