Liverpool vs Real Madrid - LIVE!
Liverpool were denied a seventh European crown as Real Madrid became kings of the continent once again thanks to Vinicius Junior’s strike in a Champions League final marred by chaos outside the Stade de France.
Kick-off had to be delayed by 36 minutes due to substantial security issues outside the stadium in Paris and when the final did finally get underway, Liverpool were edged out 1-0 in a tense, engaging final settled by Vinicius.
Jurgen Klopp’s Reds were unable to find a response to the second-half strike as Carlo Ancelotti, winning a record fourth Champions League as a manager just a year after leaving Everton, oversaw the Spanish giants’ 14th European Cup triumph.
It was a heartbreaking end to a memorable season for Liverpool, who won the Carabao Cup and FA Cup before being pipped to the Premier League title by a point and losing in the French capital.
