Liverpool ended the season with heartache following their Champions League final defeat by Real Madrid and the statistics show their goal scoring struggles in Paris are nothing new.
Jurgen Klopp’s side had 24 shots to Real’s four on Saturday night at the Stade de France, but could not find the back of the net. Thibaut Courtois was in inspired form in the Real goal, not conceding despite seeing nine shots fired in on target.
The Belgian keeper made an amazing save from Sadio Mane’s low shot in the first half before producing a string of others to keep out Mohamed Salah in the second half as Liverpool ramped up the pressure. His efforts ensured Vinicius Jr’s tap-in from Fede Valverde’s low cross was enough to win it 1-0 for Real.
