Another big night of Champions League final match turned into big win for Real Madrid who brushed aside brave Liverpool (3:1) in action-packed game. A stunner from came-off-the-bench Gareth Bale, two horrendous howlers from poor Loris Karius, shit-tackle on Mohammed Salah by mean Sergio Ramos, great midfield battles and generally good football from both sides – we’ve seen all that yesterday in Kyiv.
Real Madrid, an absolute favorite before the game, became the first club to win European top club competition for 3 consecutive seasons since Bayern Munich did the same in 70s. It’s a pity to see Liverpool losing like that after their impressive campaign but their goalkeeping was beyond our capacity to describe it.
- Zinedine Zidane won the game using the same starting 11 as in the Champions League 2017 final against Juventus
- This Champions League title is 4th for Real Madrid in last 5 years
