Unlike their older colleagues, who ended their European journey in the quarter-finals, the young team of the “Kraljevski Club” managed to reach the European throne. In the final played in Lausanne, Real was better than Club Brugge.
The young Spaniards took the lead in the 23rd minute with a goal by Jacob Ortega, and Tobias Lund Jensen equalized in the 64th minute. As there were no more goals, the question of the winner was decided by kicks from the penalty spot.
Real’s goalkeeper Javier Navarro excelled, saving shots from Naim Amengai and Tian Koren. At Real, Navascues, Yanez, Diez and Aguado were accurate, and on the opposite side, only Goemaere and Musuayji scored.
– This extraordinary generation of players left their mark in the youth academy. They are incredibly talented, incredibly dedicated players who perfectly embody the values of Real Madrid. We are very proud of them, Real coach Alvaro Lopez said.
Club Brugge and Real won 15 points each in the league part of the Champions League, occupying the third and fourth positions.
Real then eliminated Marseille, Chelsea, Sporting, PSG, and in the final, Brugge, who on the way to the final match was better than Monaco, Žilina, Atletico Madrid, and Benfica.
