Sunday Oliseh, Super Eagles legend, has expressed his pain at Borussia Dortmund's defeat by Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League final.

Real Madrid defeated Dortmund 2-0 at the Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday night to win a Champions League trophy that would tie the record at fifteen.

Dortmund's hopes of winning a second Champions League title were dashed by goals in the second half from Vinicius Junior and Dani Carvajal.

The loss left a former Dortmund player, Oliseh, sad after hoping his former team would claim the Champions League title.

The 49-year-old, who admits to being a Dortmund supporter, saw the Black and Yellow outperform Real Madrid in the first half before their wastefulness was penalised in the second half.
