Borussia Dortmund have won the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history after defeating Real Madrid on penalties following a 1-1 draw in extra time.
The match, which took place at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid, was a tense affair that saw both teams create chances throughout the game.
However, it was Borussia Dortmund who eventually emerged victorious thanks to a late goal from Nigerian forward, Emmanuel Adebayor.
Adebayor's goal came in the 95th minute and put his team ahead of Real Madrid, who had been attempting to equalise through a penalty shootout.
Despite being given a chance to take the lead themselves, Real Madrid were unable to find a way past Borussia Dortmund's goalkeeper, Roman Weidenfeller, and the match went into extra time.
In extra time, both teams continued to create chances but neither could break down the other's defense until the final moments of regulation time.
As the match entered extra time, Real Madrid looked to be taking control as they created several chances, but they were unable to find the back of the net.
In the 120th minute, however, Borussia Dortmund's captain, Mats Hummels, was sent off for a foul on Karim Benzema, leaving Real Madrid with ten men.
With just minutes left in normal time, Real Madrid had one last chance to level the score, but they missed the penalty kick attempt and were forced to settle for second place in the competition.
The victory for Borussia Dortmund was a historic moment for the club and a long-awaited triumph for fans who had supported the team since its inception in 1904.
The win is also a significant achievement for manager Lucien Favre, who took over as coach in January and has guided the team to this incredible achievement.
Overall, the victory for Borussia Dortmund is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the players, coaches, and fans who have supported the team throughout the years.
