Bordeaux-Begles claimed back-to-back Champions Cup titles with a commanding 41-19 victory over Leinster at San Mames Stadium in Bilbao. The French side scored five tries through Maxime Lucu, Pablo Uberti, Louis Bielle-Biarrey (two) and Yoram Moefana, with Lucu converting all five and adding two penalties in a masterful kicking display.

Leinster's hopes of ending their final curse crumbled as they trailed 35-7 at halftime despite opening the scoring through Tommy O'Brien. Joe McCarthy and Garry Ringrose added tries for the Irish province, but they suffered their heaviest Champions Cup final defeat. This loss marks Leinster's fifth final defeat since 2019, highlighting their struggles on the biggest stage.

Bordeaux's ruthless performance showcased pace, skill and power that Leinster couldn't match. The victory backs up last year's maiden success and establishes Bordeaux-Begles as the new force in European rugby. Their clinical execution and Lucu's flawless boot proved decisive in retaining the trophy.
