David Hytner’s match report has arrived from Paris - the technology these days - so I’m going to wrap this blog up. Thanks for your company and emails throughout. Commiserations to Liverpool, but huge congraulations to Real Madrid and the adorable Carlo Ancelotti, the Jeffrey Lebowski of football management.
For the second time in a month he has made history, and his team have just completed the greatest European Cup campaign of all time, ever. Goodnight!

Courtois made nine saves in total. Two stand out: in the first half he pushed Sadio Mane’s fierce shot onto the post, and in the second he made a stunning reaction save - I think with his bicep - to deny Mo Salah.
