Real Madrid have beaten Liverpool FC to claim a third consecutive Champions League crown and lift the European Cup for a third year in a row.
Real Madrid German playmaker Toni Kroos, who was quiet but surefooted in midfield on the night, becomes the first German to win the competition four times, still aged 28.
Madrid's victory makes it a record 13 overall and deny Liverpool a sixth crown in their first final since 2007 after last winning it in the memorable 2005 final.
Salah, meanwhile, left the game in tears in the first half after injuring his shoulder.
Saturday's final at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev will be remembered, most notably, for Bale's sumptuous 64th-minute winner courtesy of an overhead kick -- he only came on in the 61st -- and the Welshman would go on to collect his second in the dying minutes to put the Reds away.
Karim Benzema had opened the scoring for Real Madrid in the 51st minute in unusual circumstances, only for Sadio Mane to level in the 55th. Mane shone for Liverpool, later hitting the post and forcing Sergio Ramos to make a last-ditch interception as he charged toward goal with only goal separating the sides.
Gareth Bale came off the bench and did the damage for Real Madrid, including a sublime overhead kick moments after his substitution. In the Liverpool goal, Germany's Loris Karius had a night to forget.
If Gareth Bale was upset to be on the bench for Saturday's final in Kyiv, he responded in precisely the right way when given his chance in the second half. Within minutes of coming on, the Welsh international delivered a spectacular bicycle kick to restore Real Madrid's lead.
