Real Madrid Clinch 15th European Cup and Celebrate with Fans in Madrid

Real Madrid celebrated their Spanish title win in May with thousands of supporters, vowing to return in June with the Champions League trophy. On Saturday, Los Blancos fulfilled their promise by defeating Borussia Dortmund 2-0 at Wembley, securing a record 15th European Cup.

The victorious team celebrated on Sunday, visiting the city's popular celebration spots before concluding at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. Anticipation is high for Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe's expected signing, which will likely extend the festivities.

Fans chanted "Vinicius, Ballon d'Or" throughout the afternoon in honor of Vinicius Junior, who scored Madrid's second goal in the final. Dani Carvajal opened the scoring with his first Champions League goal in eight seasons, defying Dortmund's dominance in the match. True to their reputation, Madrid found a way to prevail.

Led by president Florentino Perez, the team first visited the Almudena Cathedral, where Cardinal Archbishop of Madrid Jose Cobo received a replica trophy. They then presented another replica to regional government president Isabel Diaz Ayuso at the Madrid government headquarters.

"If we are here, it's because there's good news," said Real Madrid captain Nacho. "Once again we are champions of Europe. It seems easy to say -- 15-time champions... I hope it's many more times."

Nacho, along with Carvajal, the retiring Toni Kroos, and Luka Modric, celebrated their sixth Champions League victory, matching the record set by former Madrid winger Paco Gento over half a century ago. Perez praised Kroos, who set up Carvajal's goal in his final match for Madrid after a decade with the club.

"We are the kings of Europe," Carvajal declared to thousands of fans at Puerta del Sol, before inviting Kroos to take the spotlight. "Three weeks ago I promised you we'd be back," said Kroos. "Many thanks for ten unforgettable years, I have no more words."

Perez hinted at future successes, stating, "This club is currently working towards the realization of a new dream -- namely the sixteenth European Cup." The marquee signing of Mbappe, who is expected to join Madrid next week, is seen as a crucial step towards achieving that dream.

Fans are eager for Mbappe's arrival, viewing him as a player destined for Real Madrid. "The relationship between Madrid and the Champions League is legendary, mystical, and so it's very special," said Claudia, 23, as she awaited the team's arrival at Plaza Cibeles.

Carlo Ancelotti, who won a record fifth Champions League as a coach, joined in the celebrations, posing with a cigar, sunglasses, and a backwards baseball cap alongside Vinicius, Rodrygo, and the team's other Brazilian stars. This image will undoubtedly become a memorable part of the celebration.
