Dani Carvajal's Determination Leads Real Madrid to 15th Champions League Title

Real Madrid emerged victorious in the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund, securing their 15th European title. Dani Carvajal was the unlikely hero for Madrid, scoring the first goal with a header from a Toni Kroos corner kick. Vinicius Junior added the second goal late in the game to seal Madrid's victory.

Carvajal, who joined Real Madrid's youth system at the age of 10 and laid the first brick at their Valdebebas training facility alongside Alfredo Di Stefano, was a key player for Madrid throughout the match. Born in Leganes just south of Madrid, Carvajal entered Real Madrid's youth system as a 10-year-old after the club won their ninth Champions League title in 2002.

Madrid had been on the back foot for significant parts of the game and Dortmund missed several chances to take the lead. However, Carvajal's determination and will to win helped Madrid stage a comeback in the second half.

Toni Kroos completed 97% of his passes during his final appearance for Real Madrid, setting up Carvajal's goal with an accurate corner kick. Vinicius Junior also had a strong performance, scoring the second goal and creating several chances for his teammates.

Real Madrid has not lost a Champions League final in their last nine tries and has won six titles in eleven seasons since 2013. Borussia Dortmund, considered one of the best teams in Europe under coach Edin Terzic, put up a strong fight but ultimately came up short against Madrid's experience and quality.

The first half of the game saw several chances for both teams. Borussia Dortmund had a superior xG (expected goals) with 1.16 compared to Madrid's 0.09, but Real Madrid came back in the second half with a more determined attitude and better execution.

Three people trespassed onto the pitch during the match, causing brief interruptions and adding to the excitement of the game. However, security measures were able to quickly remove them without any major incidents.

Real Madrid's victory marks another chapter in their storied history as Europe's most successful soccer club. Their fans celebrated long into the night, proud of their team's achievements and looking forward to more success in the future.

  • Deception (30%)
    The article contains editorializing and pontification by the author, Henry Bushnell. The author expresses his opinion that Real Madrid is 'the only club seemingly impervious to that unpredictability' and 'has conquered the unconquerable'. He also states that opponents 'push and press and spar and stretch' but Real Madrid wins, implying a sense of inevitability. These statements are not facts but rather the author's interpretation of events.
    • Opponents, like Borussia Dortmund, push and press and spar and stretch ... and Real Madrid wins.
    • It is a game of 10 million actions but only one possible outcome.
    • Real Madrid has conquered the unconquerable.
  • Fallacies (85%)
    The author makes an appeal to the idea of 'aura' as a reason for Real Madrid's success in the Champions League, which is an informal fallacy as it is not based on fact or evidence. The author also uses hyperbole and exaggeration when describing Real Madrid's dominance in the competition, implying that their success is impossible or unbelievable.
    • >It has momentum behind it, Real Madrid and the European Cup. Teams are scared to play Real Madrid and that is such a big thing.<
    • >It should not be possible in such a preeminent and capricious competition, but here we are. Real Madrid, it seems, has conquered the unconquerable.<
  • Bias (95%)
    The author expresses a clear bias towards Real Madrid, portraying them as an unbeatable team that always finds a way to win in the Champions League. The author uses language such as 'simple', 'game of one possible outcome', and 'crushing inevitability' to describe Real Madrid's dominance in the competition. The author also compares Real Madrid favorably to other teams, particularly Manchester City, implying that they are inferior and have succumbed to soccer's unpredictability while Real Madrid has not.
    • And like any team, in any knockout competition, from World Cup to Europa Conference League … has succumbed to soccer’s unpredictability; and to the only club seemingly impervious to that unpredictability, Real Madrid.
      • In 2024, they surely should’ve lost in the quarterfinals, but outlasted City.
        • It is something unbelievable.
          • It is their sixth title in 11 seasons, which, frankly, is quite absurd.
            • Opponents, like Borussia Dortmund, push and press and spar and stretch … and Real Madrid wins.

                • Then it is simple. Then it’s a game of 10 million actions but only one possible outcome.
                  • They eventually topped Dortmund 2-0 in Saturday’s Champions League final after Vinicius Junior doubled the lead in the 83rd minute with a beautiful finish from inside the box.

                  Champions League final analysis: Dortmund 0 Real Madrid 2 – Carvajal, Vinicius Jr and pitch invaders

                    • Julian Brandt shot wide after 13 minutes, Karim Adeyemi rounded Thibaut Courtois but drifted too far wide of the goal, and Niclas Fullkrug hit the inside of the post in Dortmund’s first half opportunities

                  • Fallacies (85%)
                    The article contains some inflammatory rhetoric and appeals to authority. It uses a dichotomous depiction of Real Madrid's performance, implying they are either 'inevitable' or have superior class and individual quality. However, no formal logical fallacies were found.
                    • ][The Athletic]'s writers analyse the final. Are Real Madrid inevitable? We had all seen this movie before: Real Madrid pitch up in a Champions League final, stumble out of the blocks, seem to be there for the taking, ride their luck… but still prevail.
                    • ][The Athletic]'s writers analyse the final. Is it a mentality thing? Or is it just that, ultimately, their superior class and individual quality will tell? Surely it is both.
                    • Jose Mourinho said on TNT Sport that Vinicius Jr's challenge was “a dive” and could have seen him sent off for a second yellow card.
