The tour starts at the Royal Palace, a symbolic building used for government ceremonies and events. Constructed in the 18th century, over two hundred and seventy years have passed since its inception, and it remains a cornerstone of your Madrid and Barcelona 6-days 5-nights experience.

Spanish monarchs once lived here until the twentieth century. With over one million square feet of space and three thousand rooms adorned with statues and priceless art, it’s a highlight of the Madrid and Barcelona 6-days 5-nights package.

Next up during your Madrid and Barcelona 6-days 5-nights excursion is Park Retiro, Madrid’s most appealing open space. Initially a royal park, it became public in 1868, transforming into a haven for both locals and travelers on the Madrid and Barcelona 6-days 5-nights tour.

Plaza De La Vila Madrid

After a day of exploration, the group will be treated to a delicious Welcome Dinner in a typical Spanish restaurant. Here, you’ll get a taste of Spain’s culinary delights, which is a crucial part of the Madrid and Barcelona 6-days 5-nights experience. Satisfied, the bus will transport you back to your hotel. Your first night in Madrid provides ample opportunity to delve deeper into the city at your pace, a perfect wrap-up to the day of your Madrid and Barcelona 6-days 5-nights journey.

Today you will explore another city in the surroundings of Madrid in an 8-hour full-day tour. Just 50 minutes outside Madrid there is the medieval capital of Spain: Toledo, which should not be missed. Although it is now a place for tourists to come and see, five hundred years ago it was the bustling city center of Spain for centuries.

Toledo1

Given the honor of a World Heritage city, Toledo is as important as any other place in Spain and equally beautiful. The old city walls border Toledo and its winding, stone roads and picturesque buildings.

Toledo has been populated for thousands of years by almost every major empire to conquer what is now central Europe. Because of this, there are remains of each dynasty sprinkled throughout the city. When you are in this city you are truly in the middle of history.

The city is famous for being the main place of co-existence for Jews, Christians, and Muslims from seven hundred A.D. until fourteen hundred A.D. Many different religious monuments and buildings stood next to one another and people were free to practice whatever religion they wanted to. During the 16th Century, it was home to the Spanish monarchy and was the capital city.

The first thing you see when entering Toledo is the Puerta Bisagra, the main entrance to the fortified city. When you pass through this gate you are passing through fifteen hundred years of history!

Alcazar

Alcazar is a spectacular castle, but was once a fortress and because of that has been rebuilt numerous times due to conflict and fires. There are many old cathedrals, mosques, synagogues, and monasteries all over the city. Other highlights include an assortment of interesting museums, a walk along the river Tajo, and if you are lucky some amazing Fiestas.

After this excursion, the bus will drive you back to the hotel and you can enjoy your free time during the rest of the day. Of course, there are also some options, which can be added if you wish:

1. Visit to Santiago Bernabeu Stadium

Santiago Bernabeu Stadium

Real Madrid is famous for being the richest football club in Spain. Estadio Santiago Bernabeu Stadium is the home to Real Madrid and has been since 1947. It is one of the largest football stadiums in the world holding over eighty-five thousand people at one time.

2. Visit to the Prado Museum

There is no better place in the world to see Spanish art than the Museo del Prado. It is the largest and most well-known art museum in Spain, which was originally built in the 1700s in the Neo-Classical style. Some of the paintings found here date back over nine hundred years ago and are still on display today.

Prado Museum 2

The Prado is considered one of the most impressive art galleries and museums in the world, ranked seventh in Europe, and is the most visited gallery in Europe besides those in London and Paris.

In the evening you can enjoy your free time and explore Madrid on your own. You can use it to do some shopping in the famous street Gran Via, take a delicious cocktail in an insider bar, or walk along the streets – just enjoy the charm of this city.

After the refreshment at the buffet breakfast on your Madrid and Barcelona 6 days and 5 nights journey, the day unfolds with a half-day trip (5 hours) to the incredible city surrounding Madrid: Segovia, renowned for its Alcazar and captivating medieval charm.

The excursion, a significant part of your Madrid and Barcelona 6 days and 5 nights experience, kickstarts with a tour to Segovia, one of the nine prominent towns constituting the state of Castile and Leon. Earning the honor of being named a UNESCO World Heritage City in 1985, Segovia boasts two particularly breathtaking landmarks.

Segovia

Firstly, there’s the Aqueduct. Dating back to approximately 100 A.D., this masterpiece of Roman engineering stands as a testament to ancient architectural prowess. As an integral part of the Madrid and Barcelona 6-days 5-nights itinerary, the Aqueduct, with its 818-meter span and over twenty-five thousand granite blocks, offers a picturesque view from various city corners, though it predominantly graces the Plaza del Azoguejo.

Secondly, the Madrid and Barcelona 6-days 5-nights adventure introduces travelers to the Segovia Cathedral, Spain’s last gothic masterpiece. Towering over the city with its 90-meter high bell tower, this over four-century-old marvel was once Spain’s tallest structure, further amplifying the charm of Segovia.

While these architectural wonders are the highlights of the Madrid and Barcelona Barcelona 6-days 5-nights tour, Segovia’s offerings don’t end there. The Alcazar, a millennia-old royal palace, accompanied by its stunning gardens, adds to the city’s allure. Museums, arches, churches, and numerous other attractions ensure that this part of the Madrid and Barcelona Barcelona 6-days 5-nights journey remains etched in memory.

After soaking in Segovia’s magnificence, the bus escorts you back to your hotel, allowing for some relaxation before your onward journey. As a continuation of your Madrid and Barcelona 6 days and 5 nights experience, the afternoon sees you boarding a flight or high-speed train bound for Barcelona. Upon reaching this coastal gem, a private shuttle transfers you to your 3* Hotel.

The concluding part of this segment of your Madrid and Barcelona 6-days 5-nights adventure invites you to explore Barcelona at your own pace. Savor tapas, stroll through the historic old town, or simply unwind, gearing up for the adventures of the coming days.

The day begins with a buffet breakfast in your hotel. Afterward, our guide and bus will pick you up for a full-day excursion to the highlights of Barcelona.

Barcelona 6-days 5-nights

The awe-inspiring architecture of Antoni Gaudi will be our starting point. Admire the UNESCO heritage buildings of Casa Mila and Casa Batllo in the picturesque Eixample quarter before we approach Barcelona’s most famous landmark, the cathedral of Sagrada Familia: this still unfinished gem of modernism architecture was begun in 1882 and the completion is planned for 2026, the 100th anniversary of the death of Antoní Gaudí.

We will continue to the upper city and the slopes of the Sierra de Collserola mountain range to reach Parc Güell. Your guide will take you for a short walk through this fairy-tale garden with its beautiful mosaics and amazing views up to the Mediterranean Sea.

Sierra De Collserola Mountain

Take a short break on its terrace for a picture of the famous curved benches.

After this refreshing break, we will continue with the bus to the Olympic facilities on Montjuic. This mountain between the historic center and the port has already been part of sports history for decades as Barcelona’s old Formula 1 track. For the 1992 Olympic Games, it was reformed as the central venue and 80% of the competitions took place over there. We will visit the beautiful plaza and the Olympic stadium before reaching the castle on the top of the mountain with its 360-degree views of Barcelona and its shoreline.

Making our way down from Montjuic our next stop will be the ancient heart of Barcelona. Step deep into history and explore the foundations of Barcelona as a Roman colony 2000 years ago. Our guide will tell you the rise and fall of the ruling empires over the centuries on a walking tour from the world-famous Las Ramblas through the narrow lanes of the Gothic quarter. On the way to Barcelona’s greatest medieval icon, the cathedral of La Seu you will also explore the indoors of the Roman Augustus’ Temple, the palatine chapel of Santa Àgata, and the cloister of the cathedral.

Cathedral Of La Seu Spain

Now you will hop on your bus again to pass the old port and the former fishermen’s district of Barceloneta to reach the lively beach promenade. We will then enter modern Barcelona with the Olympic Port and the futuristic Forum area. On our way back to the hotel the tour will finish with the oddly shaped Torre Agbar, the icon of modern Barcelona in the new business district.

Side Of Torre Glories Agbar Tower 1

After this extensive tour get some rest in the hotel or take a look at Barcelona’s extensive shopping opportunities along fashionable Passeig de Gracia or discover hidden boutiques in the Born district.

Start into the day with another great breakfast. Today you will go on a trip to Girona and Figueres in northern Catalonia.

It will be a one-hour drive from Barcelona to the historic city of Girona. Founded by the Romans, it was a melting pot of cultures for centuries. Along winding medieval streets our guide will take you up the hill from the riverbank to the cathedral. On the way down we will pass through the narrow lanes of the Jewish quarter, walk along the Roman wall that surrounds the old town, and discover the Arab baths.

Afterward, you will have some spare time for shopping, a coffee break or just wandering around the picturesque old town on your own.

Another half an hour on the bus and we will reach Figueres, the home and workplace of world-famous surrealist, painter, and sculptor Salvador Dali.

Theatre Museum Of Dali 1

We will get in touch with his fascinating world and visit the Theatre Museum of Dali. Almost completely created by Dalí himself, it is undoubtedly the best and largest collection of surrealism in the world. He wanted visitors to see his massive collection as a whole work, and for this reason, he refused to have his works placed in any order. Step in and get lost in this surrealistic world of fantasy mixed with architecture, paintings, and sculptures.

After this exciting day, the bus will bring you back to the hotel around 18.00 hrs.

In the evening you will enjoy a delicious farewell dinner in a Spanish restaurant. The dinner will include a three-course meal, wine water, and coffee.

According to the departure of your cruise ship, we will pick you up from the hotel and bring you to your cruise terminal. With a lot of impressions, you will be hopefully already thinking about when you will return to our beautiful city. Optional: If your cruise check-in will only open late in the afternoon, we can add another half-day tour in Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid and Barcelona resume Mundial de Clubes FIFA 25 race

Qualification places for the inaugural 32-team tournament could be decided in several confederations in the coming days.

Vitor Roque of Barcelona is challenged by Nahuel Molina of Atletico Madrid during the La Liga match at Civitas Metropolitano Stadium on March 17, 2024.

South African giants Mamelodi Sundowns could seal their spot on Saturday

Ulsan just one win away from becoming first Korean club to qualify

Atletico Madrid (ESP) and Barcelona (ESP) resume their battle to reach the inaugural Mundial de Clubes FIFA 25™ (FIFA Club World Cup 2025™) when they contest their respective UEFA Champions League quarter-final second legs on Tuesday, while spots in Asia and Africa could also be decided in the coming days.

Tuesday 16 April Tuesday 16 April

Europe europe.

Following their 2-1 first-leg win against Borussia Dortmund (GER), Atleti are well-placed to join city rivals Real Madrid (ESP) as Spain’s second representative via the rankings pathway . With just nine points left to play for (seven from matches, two by advancing to further rounds), Diego Simeone’s men are six points clear of Barcelona in the standings.

If Barcelona, who hold a 3-2 first-leg lead, are knocked out by Paris Saint-Germain (FRA), Atletico’s place would also be secured. If both go through, they will face each other in the final four with the second Spanish spot still on the line – either through the champions or rankings pathway.

Either would qualify as European champions, but it is impossible for both teams to reach the United States tournament.

tour madrid to barcelona

If Atletico win the second leg against a Dortmund side who have already clinched their FIFA Club World Cup 2025 spot, there is only one way for Barcelona to deny their La Liga rivals a place in the inaugural 32-team competition via the rankings pathway: win their quarter-final second leg, defeat Atletico in both semi-final legs and lose the final in a penalty shoot-out.

If Atletico achieve a better second-leg result than their domestic rivals, Barcelona will no longer be able to overtake Atletico in the rankings and can only displace them at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 as 2023/24 European champions.

Winning a sixth European crown would clinch Barca a place at Atletico’s expense. If Barcelona win the second leg and Atleti are eliminated, Xavi Hernandez’s men would close to within three points of their compatriots in the rankings. To overhaul Atletico, however, Barcelona would still need to reach this season's UEFA Champions League final.

Wednesday 17 April Wednesday 17 April

Arsenal's (ENG) only route to the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 passes through winning the UEFA Champions League for the first time. They travel to Munich on Wednesday where Bayern Munich (GER), who secured a 2-2 first-leg draw in London, have already guaranteed a spot in the global showpiece as Germany’s top-ranked team. If Bayern progress, they will earn Austrian neighbours FC Salzburg (AUT) a place in the US via the rankings pathway.

tour madrid to barcelona

As the last two winners of the UEFA Champions League, both Manchester City (ENG) and Real Madrid, who play their second leg in England on Wednesday, have already secured their places at the FIFA Club World Cup.

Two places remain up for grabs in Asia: one for the winners of the 2023/24 AFC Champions League, the other via the ranking pathway.

tour madrid to barcelona

Al Ain (UAE) host Saudi four-time AFC Champions League winners Al Hilal in Wednesday's semi-final first leg. While Al Hilal's 2021 win in the competition means their FIFA Club World Cup 2025 place is already secure, a fifth continental crown this season would activate a second rankings slot and take Korean duo Ulsan HD (KOR) and Jeonbuk Motors (KOR) with them to the United States.

The picture is crystal clear for Al Ain – they must lift the AFC Champions League trophy to seal a place in the United States.

Ulsan will secure a place in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 if they win against Japanese side Yokohama F. Marinos (JPN) on Wednesday. In fact, two draws in their remaining games in the competition - or progressing to the final - would also see Ulsan claim the rankings pathway place.

If Ulsan and Al Hilal reach the final, Jeonbuk - who were knocked out by Ulsan in the quarter-finals - would be assured of a place via the rankings pathway.

Yokohama know only a first AFC Champions League title is enough for them to progress.

Saturday 20 April Saturday 20 April

Africa africa.

The two teams still in contention for the one guaranteed spot available to an African team at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 via the rankings pathway meet in the CAF Champions League semi-finals as ES Tunis (TUN), with 90 points, host Mamelodi Sundowns (RSA), who have 98, in Saturday’s first leg.

tour madrid to barcelona

With a maximum 12 points still available to non-champions, a Mamelodi first-leg win would guarantee their qualification for the global tournament next year as they would be 11 points ahead of their opponents with only nine still available.

A draw would leave ES Tunis still eight points back and needing to win the semi-final second leg and one of the two legs of the final to overtake Mamelodi. Should the Tunisians win both semi-final legs, they would overtake Mamelodi.

Both teams will qualify if Al Ahly (EGY), who have already qualified as the current African champions, eliminate TP Mazembe (COD) in the other semi-final as that will open two qualifying places via the rankings pathway. Only a TP Mazembe triumph in the competition overall can prevent ES Tunis and Mamelodi Sundowns from both punching their ticket for the United States.

How Real Madrid beat Dortmund 2-0 in Champions League final on Carvajal, Vinicius Jr goals

tour madrid to barcelona

Champions League result — Dortmund 0-2 Real Madrid

Ruthless Real Madrid rode their luck against Borussia Dortmund at Wembley Stadium before striking twice late on to claim a fifteenth Champions League crown.

Dortmund dominated an exciting opening half, with Karim Adeyemi missing two fine chances and striker Niclas Fullkrug then hitting the post .

And the German side were made to pay when Real came out on top late on. Dani Carvajal broke the deadlock with a header before the impressive Vinicius Junior scored to secure a 2-0 victory.

Victory sealed a record-extending fifth Champions League title for coach Carlo Ancelotti , his third with Real Madrid.

The Briefing: How will next season’s Champions League work?

Big changes coming to the Champions League next season. The number of teams competing will increase from 32 to 36, meaning there will be 189 matches instead of 125, and the group stage will be replaced by a league phase — otherwise known as the “Swiss model”.

Each team will be guaranteed to play eight matches in the league phase of which they will play half at home and half away.

The top eight sides in the league will qualify for the knockout stage. Those finishing in ninth to 24th will compete in two-legged play-offs to determine who joins the top eight in the last-16.

The Briefing: Have Dortmund played like this all season?

The Briefing: Have Dortmund played like this all season?

Getty Images

Where has this Borussia Dortmund been? At their worst during the Bundesliga season, they were almost unwatchable. But the word most often used to describe them? Boring — and historically that is something that Dortmund have never been, whatever their limitations.

The tenor of their performance at Wembley was completely different. In fact, the biggest compliment Edin Terzic’s side could be paid is that, for that first 45 minutes they played with the heart of a Jurgen Klopp team.

It’s not original to contrast Dortmund’s domestic and European form, but this was a level beyond anything they had produced before. It was football of a quality befitting the occasion. Football that nobody thought BVB to be capable of.

Follow the link below to read on.

Dermot Corrigan

The Briefing: How did Vinicius Jr prove his worth?

The Briefing: How did Vinicius Jr prove his worth?

For a long time on Saturday night it seemed like Vinicius Junior’s biggest moments were without the ball amid a frustrating first half.

But Vinicius Jr is made of stern stuff, and soon turned things around, both for himself and the team. Two Champions League finals, two victories, and two goals for Vini now.

His night did not start that great, but it ended in triumph. In the end, none of Dortmund’s pressure or the chances they created will matter. Nobody recalls any of the other teams that Real have upended, do they?

Mark Carey

The Briefing: Did Dortmund waste their dominance?

The Briefing: Did Dortmund waste their dominance?

If you looked at any prediction models or betting odds, you would have seen that Real Madrid were the obvious favourites — not just to win the final but to be the dominant side across the game.

But just as Borussia Dortmund have done in Europe all season, they ensured that the narrative did not follow the direction that many expected during the first half of Wembley’s final.

Dortmund’s performance was strong — arguably their strongest of the season — but Madrid have a narrative of their own. One that sees them regularly underperform but still come out on top as the final reflected their whole European campaign.

The Briefing: How unlikely a hero is Carvajal?

The Briefing: How unlikely a hero is Carvajal?

Dani Carvajal was the unlikely hero. He was a surprise scorer, but maybe should not have been. Finally free of injuries which have dogged him through recent seasons, Carvajal already had five goals and five assists in all competitions this season.

He is also a hugely important character in the dressing room, setting standards and demanding intensity, along with fellow long-serving home-grown players Nacho and Lucas Vazquez.

That historic moment came more than two decades after, as a 10-year-old, he was selected to join Alfredo Di Stefano in laying the first stone at the club’s Valdebebas training facility. As he won his sixth Champions League medal, Carvajal confirmed his place alongside Di Stefano as a Blancos legend.

Oliver Kay

The Briefing: Are Real Madrid inevitable?

The Briefing: 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.

It happened against Atletico Madrid in 2014 and Liverpool 2022 and to a lesser extent in 2018. As one Dortmund chance after another went begging in the first half, you just knew how this was going to end.

The Briefing: Why was the match delayed?

The Briefing: Why was the match delayed?

The final, the showpiece of the European club game, was the biggest men’s match at the national stadium since England’s penalty shootout defeat against Italy that turned into a “day of national shame” with 19 police officers injured and more than 50 arrests.

The opening of the game was deeply embarrassing for the organisers as three separate pitch invasions by individuals delayed the start. A fourth attempted to join the three on the field but was stopped by stewards. The match was then restarted after a short disruption of around two minutes.

Champions League final talking points

Real Madrid won a 15th Champions League title after withstanding a hugely impressive Borussia Dortmund performance to triumph at Wembley thanks to late goals from Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Junior.

Here, The Athletic ’s writers analyse the game.

Click below for the full piece, but we'll also bring you all the instant reaction and analysis from our writers in this live blog.

Carlo Ancelotti: This club is 'a footballing family'

Carlo Ancelotti: This club is 'a footballing family'

Victorious manager Carlo Ancelotti spoke about the departing Toni Kroos in his post-match press conference, saying: "I’m really grateful to him. He has finished at the very top. There’s no way of finishing in a higher position than this. He had the balls to finish it.

"He is a legend in this club and all the Real Madrid fans are grateful for him for what he has done – not only for his game but his attitude, his professionalism. Never missed a single day. I’ve said to him, we’re waiting. If you change your mind, we’re here waiting for you.

"My son (Davide) is my assistant coach, we're a family, Real Madrid is a family. It’s a footballing family, a very healthy, clean atmosphere, it’s fantastic for the structure. Working in a family is better than working in an industry.

"Every day at Valdebebas, with my son next to me, that helps me because he can tell me things that other people wouldn’t be able to tell me."

Dani Carvajal: 'Inside I had some anger'

Dani Carvajal: 'Inside I had some anger'

Real Madrid goalscorer Dani Carvajal, speaking post-match about his reaction when he scored, said: "Well, I just ran to celebrate. Inside I had some anger really — just saying 'Here I am.'

"It’s not all about height. You need to be there, jump for the ball, show determination. Sometimes the shortest players can score headers too.

"The goal just says how confident I was really. When I heard the final whistle I was really emotional. I arrived here being a kid. I'm still here now with children.

"Over 20 years defending the colours of Real Madrid and making history with this team. It’s a fantastic feeling. We want to celebrate today and enjoy it because we deserved it."

Michael Cox

Dortmund came so close

Dortmund came so close

Another gutting defeat for Borussia Dortmund.

They were excellent in the first half, but two familiar problems – set-piece defending and sloppy passing across the defence – cost them.

It feels like they lost it more than Real Madrid won it.

Carvajal: 'It seemed impossible to win six European Cups'

Carvajal: 'It seemed impossible to win six European Cups'

Speaking after the final, Dani Carvajal addressed joining the ultra-exclusive club of six-time winners of this tournament: "Well I’m very happy joining this select club of players that have won six European Cups. Every time we get one it’s harder to take it away from us. I’m really happy because I played all six in the starting XI in the team of my life. It’s a dream for me.

"If I could speak to Paco Gento, I would say it seemed impossible to join this club of six European Cups when I started out."

Record trophy hauls

Record trophy hauls

A quick round-up of some of the milestone numbers reached tonight, because they bear repeating:

  • Real Madrid have won the European Cup/Champions League final for the 15th time (against just three losses), more than double every other team in history.
  • Carlo Ancelotti has won the competition for the fifth time as a manager, which is at least twice more than anyone else.
  • Dani Carvajal, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and Nacho Fernandez have won it for the sixth time, tying Paco Gento for the most all-time.

Terzic on Sancho: 'We don’t know yet what the future will bring'

Terzic on Sancho: 'We don’t know yet what the future will bring'

One more from the Dortmund boss, because the questions now start to gain traction over the future of their on-loan winger Jadon Sancho and his Manchester United future. Here's what Edin Terzic said tonight:

💬 "The last six months, Jadon has been brilliant for us. He didn’t only improve his game, but improved all the players around him.

"I didn’t speak about the future because we’ve been talking about the present: playing in this final in his home town; a really special moment for him.

"You can feel the joy he receives and brings to the dressing room. I’m very happy to work with J. We don’t know yet what the future will bring, but it will bring for him another Champions League final."

Terzic told Jude 'the same thing I said to Erling'

Terzic told Jude 'the same thing I said to Erling'

Jude Bellingham caught the attention of European football while at Borussia Dortmund. Now he's a Champions League winner with Real Madrid.

That will benefit Dortmund financially, but what did Dortmund head coach Edin Terzic say to his former midfielder on the Wembley turf at full-time? Here's Terzic speaking to TNT Sports just now:

💬 "When he left us, I said the same thing I said to Erling Haaland, that I was proud to be their manager…and I was there when they won their first cup, but that I was pretty sure I wouldn't be around when they won their first Champions League. Erling did it last season, and unfortunately I was here when Jude did it, even though we tried to avoid this.

"It’s a very proud moment for him, so congratulations to the whole family. I know what (dad) Mark, (mum) Denise and (brother) Jobe are doing to get this success in the family, and big congratulations to them all."

Valverde: 'We really suffered in the first half'

Valverde: 'We really suffered in the first half'

Federico Valverde spoke to Movistar TV after the final: "We really suffered, particularly throughout the first half, because Dortmund really played well. They were so quick on their counters and they had some clear chances. I'm happy to congratulate our rival for how they played, but I'm happier that we won.

"The boss made little alterations to try and change the balance. He called me over quite a few times, but I understood what he wanted more or less, and when we changed to a 4-3-3, that helped, it gave us equilibrium.

"Tomorrow we'll celebrate, a real party. But tomorrow, too, we'll be telling each other how important it is to win this again next year."

Terzic hopes more will come for Dortmund

Terzic hopes more will come for Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund head coach Edin Terzic was at his eloquent best, speaking to TNT Sports just now:

💬 "We gave them a really good game and showed everyone we were here to win, not just to play. We were very close and only small things were missing, but congratulations to them to keep this hunger to win it again. You see why they are the true champions.

"My first feeling is pride. We brought nearly 100,000 people from Dortmund to London and we all had belief. It was a fantastic journey for this campaign. But it is also a bit empty inside because it was a great opportunity, and unfortunately we didn’t make it.

"But I saw what we did every day to get here. How much desire, pain and hard work was left on the training ground for 333 days in 214 sessions. The biggest challenge we face now is to keep our belief high, because everything in life starts with belief."

Report: Some Madrid players 'very angry' with UEFA

Report: Some Madrid players 'very angry' with UEFA

Movistar TV reporter Sergio Sanchez has reported from Wembley that some Real Madrid players were very angry at UEFA, as family members who had bracelets (allowing them onto the pitch) were initially not allowed down to celebrate with them.

This was as the images showed Bellingham with his family members on the pitch, showing off his medal.

Courtois: 'A very long, very difficult year'

Thibaut Courtois: 'A very long, very difficult year'

Thibaut Courtois, who kept another clean sheet in a Champions League final today, admitted to Movistar TV after the match that he struggled this season due to his long absence through injury.

He said: "It was a very long, very difficult year, with lots of support from my team-mates, medical staff and fans. I am happy to end it like this, with a clean sheet.

"I was relaxed. The mister (Ancelotti) knows me, Andriy (Lunin) had a good year, and we have to thank him. I knew I was ready, from the games I played, and training at a high level.

"You'd have to ask the boss what would have happened if Lunin had not been sick. He has a lot of confidence in me and I am happy to be able to return that confidence."
