Two stars marked the important moments of the final. The first goal came in the 74th minute when Dani Carvajal put the header into the back of the net from a corner kick by Toni Kroos. Vinicius Junior then put the game beyond the reach of Dortmund in the 83rd minute, showing his vivacity and agility to juggle through Dortmund’s defenders.
Borussia Dortmund was a good test for Atletico for the young goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who was very instrumental in making sure the team did not concede as he made a good save to deny Dortmund a goal. The win was mainly a result of teamwork, especially the well-organized defending style of the legendary manager Carlo Ancelotti.
