Real Madrid were outplayed, rode their luck and then produced two late goals to clinch a 15th European Cup and extend their record as the most successful team in the competition.
They simply never know when they are beaten and their history and unshakeable belief always carries them to glory even when their backs are against the wall.
It was fitting that Dani Carvajal scored the opener to win his own sixth Champions League and it was veteran Toni Kroos who deserves all the plaudits for turning the game in what his last ever club match before he retires after the Euros in his home country.
Dortmund have been the surprise package of this season’s Champions League but were always going to need the biggest upset of all to beat Real Madrid.
It did not get off to a very good start as the opening couple of minutes were interrupted by several pitch invaders and the lack of security should be an embarrassment to Wembley.
This occasion, after all, was supposed to prove that the national stadium could stage a big event after the shameful scenes of the Euros final three years ago.
One invader even took a selfie with Jude Bellingham while another ran around for what felt like an eternity before stewards caught up with him.
