Play by play

  1. 90'

    It finishes 2-1 to Real Madrid

  2. 90'

    ...and they are left to reflect on the moment of Zidane inspiration which settled this final right on half-time

  3. 90'

    Devastation for Leverkusen: they gave it everything as they tried to get back into the game, but - for the third time this season - it wasn't to be for Toppmoeller's team

  4. 90'

    ...but it's all in vain - the referee blows the final whistle and Real Madrid have won the Champions League in an often enthralling final

  5. 90'

    Berbatov heads goalwards again, and Casillas blocks it. This is a brilliant finale from Leverkusen

  6. 90'

    Basturk fires in a shot - Casillas saves, and makes another superb save from the corner...

  7. 90'

    Roberto Carlos just hammers clear after Zivkovic plays it in... Basturk takes the ball on and Real are clinging on for dear life here

  8. 90'

    Real's fans are whistling for time - they've had a nervy last few minutes. Neuville has another attempt at goal, but it's wayward

  9. 90'

    ...he gets in a powerful header down, which bounces over the bar. Yes, the keeper nearly equalised

  10. 90'

    Neuville is brought down by Conceicao on the corner of the area. Bayer are piling forward - including keeper Butt...

  11. 90'

    Lucio is taken off, Marko Babic replacing him. There will be seven added minutes - Bayer can still hope

  12. 90'

    They have Lucio off injured, and they have a late free-kick after a McManaman foul. It's pretty deep, though

  13. 89'

    Zidane makes another superb run. Bayer block, Neuville takes it on and Leverkusen certainly haven't given this up

  14. 88'

    ...Placente attempts a shot from distance but, with McManaman closing him down, it flies wide. Roberto Carlos goes into the book for wasting a bit of time

  15. 88'

    Bayer throw, Berbatov cross - Helguera clears but Schneider will try again...

  16. 87'

    The Real fans are in full voice as Solari gets away - Butt saves superbly as he drives the ball in and manages to scramble the rebound away as well

  17. 86'

    Dimitar Berbatov reaches it, but his header is too high. A good chance - will they get another as good?

  18. 85'

    Schneider will have something to say about that... he's fouled and Nueville takes the chance to cross

  19. 85'

    Raul is dumped to the floor inside the Leverkusen area, and more heartache for Toppmoeller's side seems a matter of minutes away

  20. 84'

    Placente and Neuville continue to carry the fight forward - the former crosses too long when in an excellent position down the Leverkusen left

  21. 83'

    ...but that's an encouraging moment for them - they're not out of the reckoning just yet

  22. 83'

    Ballack attempts to chip goalwards after some crisp Leverkusen build-up play - it's over the top...

  23. 82'

    Morientes almost makes him pay, turning inside the area after a poor clearance but shooting just over the Leverkusen crossbar

  24. 81'

    Basturk gives the ball away, passing it straight into touch

  25. 80'

    McManaman looks for Morientes with a low cross, and he's only just unable to make the most of that
