Tens of thousands of Real Madrid fans celebrated their club's 15th European Cup title on Sunday in the Spanish capital's downtown area, escorting the team's open-top bus and flocking to the city's landmarks to get closer to the players.

Real Madrid beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 at London's Wembley Stadium in Saturday's Champions League final after a late surge in a game whose first hour was mostly dominated by the German club.

"If you don't kill Madrid, it will kill you," said Real Madrid supporter Diego de la Cruz.
