After claiming wins against Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Manchester City, Real Madrid showed the true stuff of champions as they beat Liverpool 1-0 in the UEFA champions league final on Saturday night, May 28.
Chances were few and far between for Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid side, however, Liverpool missed so many chances during the match.
Vinicius Junior appeared completely unmarked at the far post on the hour mark to turn home Federico Valverde’s low cross and secure the 1-0 win and Madrid’s 14th European crown.
