Jay-Z brought a touch of Hollywood glamour to Wembley Stadium as he watched his client Vinicius Junior star for Real Madrid in the Champions League final. The rapper, donned in a black jacket and hat, was there to cheer on the Brazilian forward, who is signed to his Roc Nation Sports agency. Vinicius Jr joined Jay-Z’s firm last year following its acquisition of the Brazilian TFM Agency.

The high-profile match drew other notable attendees, including the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan. Real Madrid, known as Los Blancos, aimed to secure their 15th major European trophy against the German underdogs, Borussia Dortmund.

Adding to the American flair, rock star Lenny Kravitz delivered a pre-match performance, setting the stage with a six-minute set that included abbreviated versions of his hits “Fly Away” and “Are You Gonna Go My Way.” Kravitz, whose daughter is actress Zoë Kravitz, electrified the crowd before the match kicked off.

Meanwhile, the excitement extended beyond the stadium as fans without tickets gathered at Wembley, hoping for a chance to see the game. Some held signs or displayed messages on their phones reading “need tickets,” while others prepared to watch the match on large screens set up outside the venue.

Borussia Dortmund supporters were particularly lively, creating a festive atmosphere throughout the day. Scenes from the London Underground showed Dortmund fans singing “Hey Jude” en route to the stadium, and central London was awash in yellow as fans of the German club filled the streets, hoping to spoil Real Madrid’s party.

The Champions League final at Wembley was not just a clash of football giants but also a convergence of sports, music, and celebrity, making it a memorable event for all involved.
