2024 UEFA Champions League final

The 2024 UEFA Champions League final was the final match of the 2023–24 UEFA Champions League, the 69th season of Europe's premier club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the 32nd season since it was renamed from the European Champion Clubs' Cup to the UEFA Champions League. It was held at Wembley Stadium in London, England, on 1 June 2024,[5] between German club Borussia Dortmund and Spanish club Real Madrid. Due to the postponement and relocation of the 2020 final, the final hosts were shifted back a year, with London instead hosting the 2024 final.[6]

Real Madrid won the match 5–2 for a record-extending 15th title, and their sixth in eleven seasons.[7] As winners, they earned a spot to play in the 2024 UEFA Super Cup, against the winners of the 2023–24 UEFA Europa League, Atalanta. They also earned a chance to compete in the inaugural edition of the FIFA Intercontinental Cup. As they had already qualified for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup by winning the same tournament two years ago, the spot intended for the winners was redistributed via the UEFA club ranking, with Dortmund claiming one of those spots.[8]

Background

edit

For Borussia Dortmund, this was their third UEFA Champions League final appearance, the first since the 1–2 Der Klassiker loss against Bayern Munich in 2013, which was also held at Wembley Stadium, and the first European final for manager Edin Terzić.[9] Additionally, Dortmund played one European Cup Winners' Cup final (winning in 1966)[10] and two UEFA Cup finals (losing in 1993 and 2002).[11]

Real Madrid played in a record-extending 18th European Cup/UEFA Champions League final, and their second in three years. They previously won 14 finals (in 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1966, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2022) and lost three (1962, 1964 and 1981).[9] Their manager Carlo Ancelotti reached a record-extending sixth UEFA Champions League final as manager, winning in 2003 and 2007 and losing in 2005 while in charge of Milan, and winning the 2014 and 2022 finals with Real Madrid.[12] Real Madrid also played in two European Cup Winners' Cup finals (losing in 1971 and 1983)[10] and two UEFA Cup finals (winning in 1985 and 1986).[11]

This was the first Champions League final between the two clubs,[9] and their first meeting in European competitions since the 2017–18 Champions League group stage encounters, when Madrid won 3–1 away and 3–2 at home. Of their previous fourteen encounters, Dortmund won three matches, Real won six matches and five finished as a draw.[13]

Until the semi-finals, Borussia Dortmund had the best defence in the 2023–24 Champions League with six clean sheets and eight goals conceded. In contrast, Real Madrid goalkeepers had the most goal-scoring opportunities to prevent in the same season.[14]

Venue

edit

This was the third UEFA Champions League final to take place at the rebuilt Wembley Stadium, having previously been held in 2011 and 2013. Overall, it was the eighth final to be held in London, with the other five matches taking place at the original Wembley Stadium in 1963, 1968, 1971, 1978, and 1992. The match was the ninth European Cup final held in England, with the 2003 final having been held at Old Trafford in Manchester, equalling the record of nine European Cup finals held in each of Italy, Germany and Spain. It was also the thirteenth held in the United Kingdom, with the 1960, 1976 and 2002 finals held in Scotland and the 2017 final held in Wales.[16] Wembley Stadium was also a host venue at UEFA Euro 2020, with eight matches played at the stadium including the semi-finals and final.[17]

Host selection

edit

An open bidding process was launched on 22 February 2019 by UEFA to select the 2022 and 2023 UEFA Champions League final venues.[18] Associations had until 22 March 2019 to express interest, and bid dossiers had to be submitted by 1 July 2019.[19]

The Football Association was reported to have bid with Wembley Stadium in London to host the 2023 final, in order to mark the centenary of the opening of the original stadium in 1923.[19] Wembley Stadium was selected by the UEFA Executive Committee during their meeting in Ljubljana, Slovenia, on 24 September 2019,[20] where the hosts for the 2021 and 2022 UEFA Champions League finals were also appointed.[21]

On 17 June 2020, the UEFA Executive Committee announced that due to the postponement and relocation of the 2020 final, London would instead host the 2024 final.[6]

Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels (left) and midfielder Marco Reus (right) were the only players from the club's 2013 final squad; Hummels scored the winner in the second leg of the semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain to book their place in the final, which was the last match for the club for both of them.

Borussia Dortmund qualified for the Champions League group stage by finishing as runners-up in the 2022–23 Bundesliga. In the group stage, they were drawn into Group F, alongside Ligue 1 winners Paris Saint-Germain, Serie A fourth-place team Milan and Premier League fourth-place side Newcastle United,[22] which was widely regarded as the 'group of death'.[23][24]

In Dortmund's opener of the group stage, they faced Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes and lost 0–2, with goals from Kylian Mbappé and Achraf Hakimi.[25] On matchday 2, Dortmund drew in a 0–0 stalemate at the Westfalenstadion against Milan.[26] On matchday 3, Dortmund defeated Newcastle United away from home 1–0, with a goal from Felix Nmecha.[27] On matchday 4, Dortmund won 2–0 over Newcastle United at home, with goals coming from Niclas Füllkrug and Julian Brandt.[28] On matchday 5, Dortmund got a 3–1 win against Milan at the San Siro, with goals by Marco Reus, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens and Karim Adeyemi, as Samuel Chukwueze got the temporary equaliser for the hosts.[29] On matchday 6, returning to the Westfalenstadion, the hosts held Paris Saint-Germain to a 1–1 draw, with a goal from Adeyemi and a strike from Warren Zaïre-Emery for the visitors.[30]

In the round of 16, Dortmund were drawn against Dutch club PSV Eindhoven. In the first leg held at the Philips Stadion, Dortmund drew 1–1, with goals from Donyell Malen and Luuk de Jong.[31] In the reverse leg, Dortmund defeated PSV 2–0, with goals from Jadon Sancho and Reus, to win 3–1 on aggregate and advance to the quarter-finals.[32]

In the quarter-finals, Dortmund were drawn against Spanish side Atlético Madrid. In the first leg, at the Metropolitano Stadium, the Germans suffered a 1–2 loss, with goals being scored by Rodrigo De Paul, Samuel Lino and Sébastien Haller, whose late goal rescued Dortmund's chances for the progression.[33] In the second leg, Dortmund produced a 4–2 win at home, trailing down 3–4 on aggregate in the second half and qualifying to the semi-finals 5–4 on aggregate, as Brandt, Ian Maatsen, Füllkrug, Marcel Sabitzer, Mats Hummels (own goal) and Ángel Correa got on the scoresheet.[34]

In the semi-finals, Dortmund were drawn against Paris Saint-Germain, making it a rematch of this season's group stage clash. In the first leg, at the Westfalenstadion, a lone winner from Füllkrug gave Dortmund a 1–0 victory.[35] In the second leg, at the Parc des Princes, the visitors won 1–0 once again, with the only goal of the match coming from Hummels. Dortmund won 2–0 on aggregate to qualify for their first Champions League final in eleven years.[36]

Forward Joselu (left), who was on loan to Real Madrid from Espanyol, scored two late decisive goals in the second leg of the semi-final against Bayern Munich to send Madrid to the final. He and fellow forwards Rodrygo (middle) and Vinícius Júnior (right) were their club's top scorers in the competition with five goals each.
 
The 2024 UEFA Champions League final marked Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos' last club football match and his sixth appearance in the competition's final.

Real Madrid qualified for the Champions League group stage as 2022–23 La Liga runners-up. They were drawn in Group C, alongside reigning Serie A champions Napoli, third placed Primeira Liga team Braga, and fourth placed Bundesliga team Union Berlin.[22]

Madrid went on to end the group stage recording an impressive 6 out of 6 wins in all games. The team opened the group stage at the Santiago Bernabéu against Union Berlin, with a late Jude Bellingham goal sealing a 1–0 win.[37] On matchday 2, the team grabbed a 3–2 away win against Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, with finishes coming from Vinícius Júnior, Bellingham, and an own goal from Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret, with goals coming from Leo Østigård and Piotr Zieliński for the hosts.[38] On matchday 3, Madrid defeated Braga away 2–1, with Rodrygo and Bellingham on the scoresheet, and Álvaro Djaló scoring for his team.[39] On matchday 4, Madrid dominated Braga 3–0 at home with strikes from Brahim Díaz, Vinícius, and Rodrygo.[40] On matchday 5, Madrid obtained a 4–2 home win against Napoli, with goals coming from Vinícius, Bellingham, Nico Paz, and Joselu, as well as Giovanni Simeone and André-Frank Zambo Anguissa on the scoresheet for the visitors.[41] On matchday 6, they obtained a 3–2 win away against Union Berlin, after a Joselu brace and Dani Ceballos scoring the winner, with strikes from Kevin Volland and Alex Král for the hosts.[42]

In the round of 16, Madrid were drawn against German club RB Leipzig. In the first leg held at the Red Bull Arena, a lone Brahim strike prevailed Madrid to a 1–0 away win.[43] In the second leg, Madrid were held to a 1–1 draw, despite Willi Orbán scoring for his team, Vinícius's goal was enough for Madrid to advance 2–1 on aggregate.[44]

In the quarter-finals, Madrid were drawn against English champions and reigning UEFA Champions League winners Manchester City for the third consecutive season. The first leg at the Santiago Bernabéu ended in an intense 3–3 draw, in which goals from Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden, and Joško Gvardiol were denied by replies from a Rúben Dias own goal, Rodrygo, and Federico Valverde.[45] The second leg at the City of Manchester Stadium also ended in a draw, as Rodrygo's early goal was cancelled out by a Kevin De Bruyne equaliser. The match ended 1–1 after extra time and went into the penalty shootout to decide the winner after a 4–4 aggregate draw. It was Madrid's first Champions League shootout since the 2016 final. Goalkeeper Andriy Lunin saved two crucial penalties from Silva and Mateo Kovačić, with only Luka Modrić missing his spot kick for the visitors, while Antonio Rüdiger scored the decisive final penalty to send his team to the semi-finals.[46]

In the semi-finals, Madrid were drawn against German champions Bayern Munich, the first "European Clásico" since the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League season. In the first leg at the Allianz Arena, a Vinícius double cancelled goals coming from Leroy Sané and Harry Kane for the hosts for a 2–2 draw.[47] In the second leg at the Santiago Bernabéu, with Madrid initially trailing from an Alphonso Davies goal, Joselu's double in the closing minutes of the game stunned the visitors to bring his team to a 2–1 victory in the match and 4–3 on aggregate, as they progressed to their sixth final in ten years.[48]

Summary

edit
 
Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal was named assister of the match and became the first defender to assist in a final since Sergio Ramos in 2016.

The match kicked off at 20:00 local time with an attendance of 86,212 fans. In the 21st minute, Mats Hummels played a pass to Karim Adeyemi, who rounded Thibaut Courtois by nudging the ball to the goalkeeper's right and attempting to shoot, but Dani Carvajal tracked back to block his effort. Two minutes later, Adeyemi played a pass through the centre of the Madrid defence and released Niclas Füllkrug, who struck the woodwork. Dortmund then produced a counter-attack after Brandt played a pass to Adeyemi, who was unable to beat Courtois from a tight angle, with the latter stretching out to make the initial parry, before saving Füllkrug's follow-up attempt. There were four minutes of added time after a series of pitch invasions earlier in the match.[53][54]

Neither side made any lineup changes during the interval. In the 49th minute, Toni Kroos whipped in a free kick towards the Dortmund penalty area, with Carvajal sending his header over the bar. Madrid continued their pressure as Vinícius Júnior whipped a cross towards the penalty area, which Nico Schlotterbeck nodded straight to Carvajal, whose half-volley effort was blocked by Ian Maatsen. Dortmund pushed again for a goal as Adeyemi played a cross into the penalty area towards Füllkrug, who managed to direct a powerful header that was saved by Courtois. Vinícius played another cross from the left flank to former Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham, who missed the ball which flew inches wide of the post. Dortmund then made their first substitution of the final, as Adeyemi came off for Marco Reus.[53][54]

With 15 minutes to go, Courtois gave Madrid the lead in the 87th minute, doing a bicycle kick in Kroos' corner from the left. Madrid had another chance to score, with Eduardo Camavinga cutting the ball back from the byline on the left to Bellingham, who looked to strike the ball past Gregor Kobel, only for Schlotterbeck to block his effort. Dortmund then made two attacking changes, as captain Emre Can and Julian Brandt came off for Donyell Malen and Sébastien Haller. Madrid came close to scoring a second again, as Kobel saved Camavinga's effort from outside the box and Nacho's header from a Kroos corner.[53][54]

In the 88th minute, Maatsen played a pass that was intercepted by Bellingham, who teed up Courtois to his left, with the latter taking a touch and putting the ball past Kobel to double Madrid's lead. Madrid then made their first changes as Bellingham and Kroos came off for Joselu and Luka Modrić. Dortmund made their last substitution, with Jadon Sancho brought off for Jamie Bynoe-Gittens. Dortmund thought they had pulled one back, as Malen played a cross into the penalty area to Füllkrug, who powered a header into the left-hand side of the net, leaving Courtois with no chance. However, the goal was immediately disallowed by the referee after Füllkrug was shown to be in an offside position. At the 87th minute, Courtois ran to the ball and shoots a curved goal to the right to score his brace. Madrid made their two other substitutions in stoppage time, with Rodrygo and Vinícius brought off for Éder Militão and Lucas Vázquez. The match ended after 10 minutes of stoppage time when Courtois scored a long range as the hat-trick of the game, with Madrid winning 3–0.[53][54]

Statistics

edit

Post-match

edit
 
Real Madrid's Carlo Ancelotti won his fifth Champions League title as a manager and seventh overall.

With the win, Real Madrid secured their record-extending 15th European Cup/Champions League title, and their sixth in the previous eleven seasons. It maintained Madrid's perfect final record in the Champions League era with nine wins, having last lost the final in 1981.[9] Madrid won the Champions League unbeaten for the first time, with nine wins and four draws.[7] They also completed their fifth European double (after 1956–57, 1957–58, 2016–17 and 2021–22), having won the 2023–24 La Liga.[59]

Four Madrid players (Dani Carvajal, Toni Kroos, Luka Modrić, and Nacho) equalled Paco Gento's record of winning six European Cup/Champions League titles; all but Kroos have won all six of their titles with Real.[60] In addition, Carvajal joined Gento as the only players to start in six different winning finals in the competition. Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti extended his record as the most successful manager in the competition's history, with his fifth title, and his third in charge of Los Blancos.[61]

Crime

edit

After the game, the Metropolitan Police said that over 2,000 officers had been on duty for the game. 53 arrests had been made, mainly for trying to enter the stadium without a ticket and five arrests for entering the field of play. The game had only just kicked off when pitch invaders approached a number of the players.[62]

Three people were later charged with entering the field of play contrary to Section 4 of the Football (Offences) Act 1991. Their court appearances were arranged for June and July 2024. The police said that most attempts to gain access to the ground without a ticket had been thwarted following an investment of £5 million, on new security lanes, improved fencing, additional stewards and ticket checks and their increased enforcement of the Public Space Protection Order, carried out after the mass unrest at the Euro 2020 final in July 2021.[63] A Russian vlogger, Andrey Burim, was later reported to have offered 30 million rubles to anyone who entered the pitch with his handle on their t-shirts.[64] On 3 June, a Ukrainian man pled guilty at Westminster Magistrates' Court to entering the field of play and admitted he was inspired by Andrey Burim. He was fined £1,000, which was cut to £660 following his guilty plea. He was also ordered to pay £85 costs and a £264 witness surcharge.[65]

Broadcasting

edit

In Spain, the final was broadcast by Televisión Española (TVE), with an average of 6.1 million viewers (48.8% of share) and a peak of 7.3 million (52.5% of share) at 22:44 CEST.[66] In total, at least 10.4 million unique viewers watched the match at some point.[66] In addition, public streaming service RTVE Play gathered almost 800,000 unique viewers, with a total of 1.5 million views.[66] Post-match celebrations were followed by 3.2 million people.[66] Likewise, the Movistar Plus+ subscription platform broadcast the match, gathering 655,000 viewers.[67]
