Borussia Dortmund
George CobyHe was brought down by Vinicius in the first half and had to be careful to fend off a Kroos free-kick, while Carvajal had no chance on goal. 7
Julian Ryerson The Norwegian defender, who had the unpleasant task of marking Vinicius, looked dangerous when he was able to get forward. 7
Mats Hummels He showed his experience with a fine through ball to Adeyemi and was looking to handle Carvajal’s header on the goal line. 7
Nico Schlotterbeck The defender made a decisive touch to deny Bellingham what would have been the winning goal late in the game. 6
Ian Martsen The Chelsea loanee made a goal-line clearance to deny Carvajal’s shot, but conceded a corner that set up the decisive opener. 6
Marcel Sabitzer He confronted one of the players who had invaded the pitch, continued to fight in midfield and looked devastated when his team lost. 7
Emre Can The captain was a calming presence in midfield as Dortmund dominated the first half, but the former Liverpool man struggled to make any headway. 6
Jadon Sancho It was a quiet night with only occasional glimpses of his talent, and he certainly doesn’t seem the same person he was when he left Manchester United in January. 6
Julian Brandt Although Dortmund squandered their first goal-scoring opportunity, they were full of energy from the start, emblematic of their team’s fearless approach. 7
Karim Adeyemi Although he missed a golden opportunity when he was completely through in the first half, he was always a threat with his lightning speed and technical finesse. 7
Niklas Fülkrug He was extremely unlucky not to score as his shot bounced off the post and Courtois also had a header saved. 7
Substitute: Marco Reus (Adeyemi 72) His final game for the club did not have a fairytale ending. N/A; Donyell Malen (For 80 cans) N/A; SebastiHaller (Brandt 82) N/A; Jamie Bynoe Gittens (Sancho 87) N/A

Thibaut Courtois He had to be at his best to see off Dortmund but showed no signs of the injury that has ruined his season, making a superb save to deny Fürklug’s header. 8
Dani Carvajal They had their hands full dealing with the lively Adeyemi but made up for missing a golden chance from a corner early in the second half with a valuable goal. 8
Antonio Rudiger He struggled to contain Furklug and wasn’t the most powerful player, but he was the hero of the penalty shootout win against Manchester City in the semi-final. 6
Nacho Six Champions League finals and six titles. What the veteran defender lacked in speed he made up for with excellent anticipation. 7
Ferland Mendy His incredible speed got Madrid out of danger on multiple occasions and he provided excellent support for Vinicius on the left wing. 6
Eduardo Camavinga He was unlucky not to score with a fantastic long-range shot, as the French midfielder has developed into one of the best players in his position in the world. 8
Federico Valverde He struggled to perform to his potential in the first half, but he got back into the groove in the second half. Incredible stamina. 7
Toni Kroos He was a commanding presence in his final game at club level, exuding class and deserving of a standing ovation when he replaced Modric. 9
Jude Bellingham They looked calm on the biggest stage but were not their usual self and missed a golden opportunity to seal the win late in the game. 6
Rodrigo Although he didn’t perform as well as his compatriot Vinicius, the 23-year-old did win the corner that led to the opening goal. 7
Vinicius Junior He used a wide range of skills to confuse the Dortmund defence and ended the night with a stunning goal. 9
