Official Champions League final PlayStation Player of the Match
Real Madrid's Dani Carvajal has been named PlayStation® Player of the Match for the 2024 UEFA Champions League final.

Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal has been named the PlayStation® Player of the Match for the 2024 UEFA Champions League final after his side beat Dortmund 2-0 at Wembley.

The 32-year-old right-back scored a crucial goal to open the scoring in the 74th minute with a flicked header from a Toni Kroos corner, and he was also colossal in defence to help his side keep a clean sheet.

Dani Carvajal put in a superb performance to guide his side to victory

UEFA's Technical Observer panel said: "A very dynamic, disciplined and committed performance by the full-back, who put in a very solid defensive display and on the ball. He constantly showed discipline to give his team width. Came up with the key moment of the game, scoring from the corner, where he showed determination and anticipation."

Speaking after full-time, Carvajal said: "I can't properly explain what this feels like. I'll settle for immense happiness. We sure know how to suffer but, believe me, I'd love to win these matches more easily. I'd been coming up for corners most of the season. Determination is key to my approach – I'd headed one over and I just knew I had to score the second one."
