Play by play
- 90'
It finishes 2-1 to Real Madrid
- 90'
...and they are left to reflect on the moment of Zidane inspiration which settled this final right on half-time
- 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
- 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
- 90'
Berbatov heads goalwards again, and Casillas blocks it. This is a brilliant finale from Leverkusen
- 90'
Basturk fires in a shot - Casillas saves, and makes another superb save from the corner...
- 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
- 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
- 90'
...he gets in a powerful header down, which bounces over the bar. Yes, the keeper nearly equalised
- 90'
Neuville is brought down by Conceicao on the corner of the area. Bayer are piling forward - including keeper Butt...
- 90'
Lucio is taken off, Marko Babic replacing him. There will be seven added minutes - Bayer can still hope
- 90'
They have Lucio off injured, and they have a late free-kick after a McManaman foul. It's pretty deep, though
- 89'
Zidane makes another superb run. Bayer block, Neuville takes it on and Leverkusen certainly haven't given this up
- 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
- 88'
Bayer throw, Berbatov cross - Helguera clears but Schneider will try again...
- 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
- 86'
Dimitar Berbatov reaches it, but his header is too high. A good chance - will they get another as good?
- 85'
Schneider will have something to say about that... he's fouled and Nueville takes the chance to cross
- 85'
Raul is dumped to the floor inside the Leverkusen area, and more heartache for Toppmoeller's side seems a matter of minutes away
- 84'
Placente and Neuville continue to carry the fight forward - the former crosses too long when in an excellent position down the Leverkusen left
- 83'
...but that's an encouraging moment for them - they're not out of the reckoning just yet
- 83'
Ballack attempts to chip goalwards after some crisp Leverkusen build-up play - it's over the top...
- 82'
Morientes almost makes him pay, turning inside the area after a poor clearance but shooting just over the Leverkusen crossbar
- 81'
Basturk gives the ball away, passing it straight into touch
- 80'
McManaman looks for Morientes with a low cross, and he's only just unable to make the most of that
