Bayer Leverkusen v Real Madrid - key moments

Key moments from this year's Champions League final.

8mins: Real Madrid take the lead. An alert run from Raul leaves defender Lucio trailing and the Spain striker meets a long throw down the wing from Roberto Carlos with a first-time finish into the far corner.

14mins: Lucio equalises for Leverkusen with a firm header from Bernd Schneider’s left-flank free-kick after Claude Makelele had caught Michael Ballack late.

26mins: Ballack wastes the chance to give Leverkusen the lead when he air-kicks as the ball rolls across the box. It is cleared to Boris Zivkovic who can only drive straight at Cesar.

45mins: Zinedine Zidane volleys Real back ahead in spectacular fashion after the game had gone off the boil. Solari plays in Roberto Carlos down the left and the Brazilian loops a cross to the edge of the box. Zidane, in acres of space, shapes and volleys into the top corner.

60mins: Luis Figo is replaced by Steve McManaman.

80mins: Raul is inches away from reaching McManaman’s cross and a second goal, but the Leverkusen defence hold firm as Real step up the tempo once again.

81mins: Fernando Morientes wastes a chance to seal the game. Played in by Raul he turns in the box but scoops his effort over the bar.

82mins: Ballack fires high and wide from outside the box as Leverkusen push for an equaliser.

85mins: Dimitar Berbatov heads Oliver Neuville’s cross over the bar from 10 yards when unmarked in the Real box.

92mins: Goalkeeper Butt goes forward for a free-kick and meets the cross but his downward header goes wide.
