In the 80th minute, K. Benzema closed the match with his third goal. Vinicius delivered a precise assist to his team's central forward.
9 years ago, when „Real“ last played in the final of this tournament, Gareth Bale scored a legendary goal, passing Marc Bartra and securing the victory.
In the final, Carlo Ancelotti's players will face the footballers of Pamplona's „Osasuna“.
