Spanish giants Real Madrid have won the 2021-2022 Champion League trophy after beating Liverpool FC 1-0.
Liverpool’s hopes of being crowned champions of Europe for a seventh time ended in heartbreak at the hands of Real Madrid in Paris.
Winger Vinicus scored in the 59th minute to lead the Real Madrid team to a 14th title in European football.
Liverpool had several attempts on target but were frustrated by by a brilliant goalkeeping display by Thibaut Courtois, the former Chelsea man tipping Sadio Mane’s attempt on to the post before keeping out Mohamed Salah late on with a superb one-handed save.
The final started 36 minutes after the scheduled 20:00 BST kick-off due to “security reasons” after pictures emerged in the build-up of huge crowds of fans queuing to get in the Stade de France. (BBC SPORT)
