Real Madrid are again champions of Europe after beating Liverpool 1-0 in Paris at the Stade de France.
Brazilian forward Vinicius Jr scored the only goal of the game for Los Blancos, against a Liverpool side who created chances, but found Thibaut Courtois at his obdurate best between the sticks for the Spanish giants. The Belgian made a number of outstanding saves, not least turning a first-half Sadio Mane strike onto the post.
Carlo Ancelotti made history by winning his fourth Champions League crown as a manager, more than any other manager in the history of the competition and its predecessor, the European Cup. For a number of his veteran players, including Karim Benzema, Luka Modric and Marcelo, it marked a fifth triumph in the competition.
