Both teams took to the pitch seeking to make their mark from the start, and the one that best matched at the beginning of the duel was Liverpool. His were the best chances in the boots of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane. Still, both saw how the significant interventions of Thibaut Courtois squandered the options of overtaking their team on the scoreboard.
Look at Vinicius Júnior's goal that is worth a Champions League.
Real Madrid had a slow rhythm, but they began to control the ball better little by little. The slogan was clear on the part of Carlo Ancelotti: look for the society formed by Vinicius and Benzema. The Brazilian silenced the stadium with each touch since when he has the ball, it is suspected that something can happen for some well and not so well for others. At the end of the first act, Benzema had a clear chance for Real Madrid, although his goal did not end up on the scoreboard due to offside.
Going through changing rooms did not change the dynamics of the match, and it was Liverpool who started with the most significant effort. However, Vinicius had other plans when he sent a pass from Valverde into the back of the net in the first clear opportunity for the white team in the second act. Courtois, in minute 61, once again displayed his repertoire of saves against a good shot from Salah, who was one of the most active.
The Belgian goalkeeper had a night to remember in Paris, appearing again and again in the face of Liverpool's onslaught. He had saved of all kinds and kept his team ahead despite Mohamed Salah trying in every possible way. In the end, the white squad once again signed a historic night in Paris, raising the most important club trophy with a team full of experience and youth.
"He made great saves at critical moments when Liverpool was better in the first half. Extraordinary save on Salah late in the game."
