everything you do Real Madrid in the Champions League It appears to be written by a screenwriter. Sometimes, exaggerated in the quota of miracles that he puts into the scenes. Others, predictable. This happened in the 28th minute of the second half. The ghostwriter felt that he owed a tribute to Toni Kroos already Dani Carvajal. He united them in a play: a corner from the German, a header from the Spanish for the 1-0 against the very tough Borussia Dortmund. To “open the can”, as the scoring winger defined.
We all knew that Kroos was playing his last game with the Real Madrid shirt and we all knew that both the German and Dani Carvajal were part of that group of four musketeers contending for the record that Paco Gento treasured since 1966. The six Champions Leagues won. Kroos, Carvajal, captain Nacho and Luka Modric have already caught up.
“It is immense happiness. The match was very complicated, we said it in the preview. We came out of the first part alive, knowing we would have our moment… and here it is. It will be true that this club knows how to suffer… I preferred to win it more easily… But Dortmund is here on its own merits. In the first half we didn’t even deserve a draw, but we knew how to suffer, the sticks… and now we are happy. This year I was moving up to the corners and, as I tell my family, determination is key for me and my career. And you saw that one of them went a little too high… but I had to plug the second one in,” explained Dani, the full-back who the Spanish media already gave him the legend banner.
The six crowns of Modric, Carvajal and Nacho went to Real Madridin the last six titles won by the white team (2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2022 and 2024).
Kroos featured in Real Madrid’s bottom five, having joined the team for the 2014-2015 season. He was not in the final won in Lisbon against Atlético de Madrid, but he had one with Bayern Munich, the one in 2013. “The decisive factor has been that they did not score against us in the first half. The first half we were not good. Then we entered to the game and we scored the goal. We gave it 100% and we were the best team, but it took us a lot to get there,” said the German.
Nacho, the least famous of the group, received as captain the Orejonaan award for his 23 years at the club.
For Modric it was the first final in which he did not start as a starter. His introduction by his friend Kroos, with five minutes remaining, was another emotional touch. The 38-year-old Croatian wants to retire with that shirt and it is most likely that he will renew his contract.
The six European Cups won by Paco Gento (who died in 2022 at the age of 88) were the first six that the legendary Real Madrid won in black and white: the first five editions of the tournament (1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960) and then a sixth in 1966.
Then 32 years of drought passed, until in 1998 Real Madrid won it again, it was the seventh. He didn’t stop anymore.
Perhaps Real Madrid’s overwhelming winning mystique can be explained with the statements of Dani Carvajal. “I haven’t had to lose any finals and I hope the streak continues. It is something wonderful. Fantastic to have won the sixth and with a goal. Not even in my wildest dreams. Why not the seventh? We want more, we reset at the beginning of the season and we want more. “Now let’s celebrate.”
