Champions League Final: Real Madrid Lifts Trophy in Dramatic Penalty Shootout
Real Madrid won their record 15th UEFA Champions League title after a pulsating final against Bayern Munich ended 1-1 after 120 minutes, with Los Blancos triumphing 5-4 in a dramatic penalty shootout. Vinicius Jr. put Real ahead with a spectacular volley in the 67th minute, only for Bayern Harry Kane to equalise from the spot in the 89th minute to send the match to extra time. The shootout was decided when Bayern midfielder Jamal Musiala had his effort saved by Madrid keeper Andriy Lunin, before Rodrygo coolly slotted home the winning penalty. Manager Carlo Ancelotti said: "This group of players is special. They never give up. This is what Real Madrid is."
