“[Dortmund] played better than us and had more chances than us, but they let us get away with 0-0 at half-time,” Ancelotti said. “In the second half we had more balance, played better and managed to win the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I think this season we had many, many troubles. We lost quality players and had to replace their ability with commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“You need both sacrifice and quality to win Champions League, but this win makes me very satisfied because we never give up and always fight until the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“So I’d rate us as 10 out of 10 this season. This season has been 10\/10. My players have been spectacular.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having won the club’s 15th Champions League, Ancelotti said that Real’s attention will turn quickly to winning it for a 16th time next season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“That’s the way it is, that’s how football is,” he said. “What goes through my head? Everybody is waiting for winning a ninth [Champions League] final in a row and the danger of not winning it was real — Dortmund were an uncomfortable rival for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“In this club, there is a continuous demand and we are never satisfied. After the Euros and Copa America, the players will come back with the same hunger and ambition as before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This competition has given me fantastic happiness, but the target is to try to get some happy emotion after this game. I have the luck to be at the best club in the world.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Germany international F\u00fcllkrug went closest to breaking the deadlock when he hit the post on 24 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Madrid struggled to get into the game, with former Dortmund star Jude Bellingham nullified by his old teammates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
