In Paris, Real Madrid beat Liverpool 1-0 with a goal from Vinicius Junior and an unforgettable performance from Thibaut Courtois to win the 66th UEFA Champions League final.

Jurgen Klopp's team seemed more poised on the pitch in the first few minutes despite the delay due to incidents outside the Stade de France with English fans abruptly entering the Stade de France. With control of the ball, Ancelotti's team was restless, who handed over power and prepared to play a counterattack with the speed of Vinicius Jr.

The first clear for the English came after 15 minutes, with a good combination of Henderson on the right, which ended with an assist to Mo Sala, who deflected the shot, but the image was weak, and Courtois contained it without problems. A short time later, a left-footed shot from the Egyptian fell back into the hands of the Belgian goalkeeper.

And when the third seemed lucky, the one they couldn't beat again was the Madrid goalkeeper. An individual play by Sadio Mane at the gate of the area, which left two defenders still, was close to opening the scoring, but a brilliant swipe from the Spanish No. 1 -and a touch on the post- saved the whites.

From the second half of the initial stage, the Merengues slowed down the game's pace. Despite almost no progress, at 43 ', there was a dangerous situation that ended with Benzema's goal, but the VAR annulled the action after analyzing that the French attacker was ahead after a touch by Valverde in a confusing action by goalkeeper Alisson Becker. 

The second part started with the same tessitura as the first. Those from Anfield were more advanced on the field of play and possession of the ball in favor, but Madrid closed the paths well. Alexander-Arnold was very active in each attack on the wings for Klopp's men. Corrida de Valverde sent a run with the ball and tried a shot on goal that ended up being a fair center for the appearance of the Brazilian Vinicius Jr at the far post. 1-0 for the Meringues.

Immediately afterward, in an attack by the English, Courtois appeared once again to deny Liverpool the celebration: a great save against a cross-shot from Salah's left foot, which had a near post after a rebound that he could not take advantage of due to the quick reaction of the goalkeeper of the Belgium team.
