Real Madrid Is a European Champion Again Beating Club Brugge in UEFA Youth League Final

Javier Navarro saved two penalties as Madrid claimed its second title in the 12-year competition after a 1-1 draw.

  • On Monday, Real Madrid won the UEFA Youth League final in Lausanne, Switzerland, defeating Club Brugge 4-2 in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw.
  • This second title for The Spaniards comes five days after Champions League quarterfinal elimination by Bayern Munich, where Madrid fielded no homegrown academy players.
  • Goalkeeper Javier Navarro secured the victory by saving two spot-kicks, building on his performance in Friday's semifinal win over Paris Saint-Germain that also went to penalties.
  • Center forward Jacobo Ortega opened scoring in the 23rd minute with a deft flick, but Brugge leveled in the 64th when Tobias Lund Jensen converted a low cross at the back post.
  • The victory brings Madrid level with Chelsea's two UEFA Youth League titles, though they trail Clásico rivals Barcelona, who remain the competition's most successful team with three wins.
