Ancelotti is arguably the best coach in Europe, won the UEFA Champion's League twice as a player and four times as a coach with different clubs. He's one of the few who has won it as a player and coach. This wealth of experience came to play in this season's campaign, how he was able to manage the players, getting the best out of them. Each game with tactics to cancel out the threat of the opponent.
Liverpool Vs Real Madrid match ended 2 days ago (based on my time zone), but until now I still can't believe the result of that match. Liverpool, which from the start of the match continued to attack, was finally defeated with only 1 goal scored by Vinicius, besides that I also lost my bet, even though I believed in the small odds I received on my betting list, but that's football, it's hard to predict.
Many people still can't believe they're seeing this result.
All year long, we watched Liverpool play football with a very high level of performance and Real Madrid was not such a strong team. But even in the most critical matches, they were able to make attacks that could change the outcome of the match within a few minutes.
It was similar in the final match, and although they found very few positions, they were able to score the goal and win the match

Liverpool was just unlucky in the match that was finished yesterday, actually if you look at the way they play, Liverpool is far superior to Real Madrid. I hope these two teams will meet again next season either in the Final or the matches before the final. yesterday night was a night full of smiles for Real Madrid fans.
The UEFA Champion's League is in Real Madrid DNA, they do not always win by luck. Eighteen champion's league final history is always in their favour whether anyone like it or not. They will always find a way to get the win. It's quite rare to see the likes of Diego Simeone praising Real Madrid but he's been truthful.

In this case, actually I still feel that it is not a matter of believing it or not but in this case it is difficult to accept the fact because from the beginning many were convinced that Liverpool would win so when Liverpool lost they did not want to accept this easily and with a lot of them. the argument that exists, and perhaps the argument that is still much debated today is the case of handball with an active hand scheme or not

Most of the betting exchanges favor Liverpool as champions because their appearance and squad are quite good this season, besides that when the match started Liverpool continued to press Madrid and make that Liverpool odds of winning were increasing on several betting sites that I saw, but football is indeed difficult for us to predict when the team that seemed to be winning the match had to end up losing at the end of the match.

I don't know if you're a Liverpool fan but maybe yes based on your comments. I feel the same disappointment because I honestly thought Liverpool would have scored tonight because they had their chances. But I really didn't think that Real Madrid could defend well and not make too many mistakes and managed to hold on until the end of the match.Liverpool were just unlucky about the goals because really I saw them playing well that night. I hope you can forget about losing that bet because this is football and we also know what the risks are. I'm really excited for next season and hope Liverpool can still reach the final again.
But its the luck which helps a team win, in final match luck was sitting on Real Madrid side. Liverpool came so close yet they are so far. There is no - better luck next time - this kind of chance comes once in a while.

Salah's third final lost in 2022 and he won't be able to go to the World Cup, I'm sorry for him. Benzema is the owner of the 2022 Ballon D'or, congratulations in advance.~
But besides the three lost finals for Salah, there are two won and both were won on penalties, so it's hard to call Salah unlucky. As far as Benzema is concerned, it's too early to talk about the Ballon d'Or (although he's currently the number one contender for the prize) because if someone shows a phenomenal result at the World Championship, the balance of power could change.
So it's hard to decide but my guess is still on Benzema who will win it.
But for Salah has failed several times in the championship including the previous AFCON cup which failed in the final.

Sadio Mane shot was directed straightly to the bar of the goal.
Asides that I didn't see too much chance on goal from Liverpool
Yes they played better, but in games like this, you have to be in full possession and still lost, I have seen games like that.
I don't know why you think Liverpool played better... Mane's unscored goal for Liverpool can be considered the same when Benzema's goal was cancelled out for Real... On other occasions Real played better defensively and offensively... Yes, Liverpool had several opportunities to score, but the professionalism of the goalkeeper was top class!Asides that I didn't see too much chance on goal from Liverpool

Courtois was clearly the man of the match, a panther on the post. He also deserves the award for the best goalkeeper of 2022. It was unlikely next to the City-Liverpool-Bayern trio, but they won by beating the toughest opponents, congratulations Real. While stars such as Ronaldo, Pepe, Varane, Sergio Ramos and Di Maria left in Real Madrid, this year's European championship became a surreal while Bale and Hazard could not get enough contribution... In the season we call them dead, first the league, then the giants league. Winning Champions League is an unbelievable accomplishment.

Football is not only a lot of possession of the ball and a lot of attacks, but what determines victory is the team that is able to score goals.
Real Madrid don't attack and attack a lot but they play very strategically, their defense and also their counter-attack, Real Madrid don't play badly, but this is part of their strategy to win the game.
Real Madrid have beaten 3 big teams to reach the final, and many still say it's luck? I don't think so, Real Madrid is the best team right now on the blue continent. they deserve all of this.

Of course, it is fate. They could not have won the title if they were not lucky. They scored three goals after 90th minute against Manchester City. Would you say that this is only due to good strategy? The coach of Real Madrid is very tactful, at the same time they are very lucky. Real Madrid won against Liverpool because of their defensive tactics. At the same time, the defender and goalkeeper's good performances enabled them to repel all Liverpool attacks.
There is nothing that compares to the 14 trophies that have now been obtained, and Real Madrid have won the UCL 3 times in a row with Zidane so I admit Real Madrid are the kings of the UCL which many people say that by being in the final they become fierce to win the title.
The record continues to be won and Real Madrid is a great experience being in the UCL no doubt about it even though in the final yesterday I chose Liverpool but Madrid have great motivation and that's a fact that happened.
There is only one way to stop Real Madrid's record in the Champions League and that is not to let them reach the final. But I'm sure there will be a lot of people who will be against this because I think their fan base has grown a lot since Real Madrid won the title this season. I don't feel weird about that because actually everyone is free to support any team they believe can win the title, but don't think that this won't change in the future. The Champions League is not just about one team although in history only Real Madrid have won 14 titles. The record continues to be won and Real Madrid is a great experience being in the UCL no doubt about it even though in the final yesterday I chose Liverpool but Madrid have great motivation and that's a fact that happened.
History repeated itself; Liverpool failed to savage the situation and they couldn't become the champion. One thing I realised to have made Madrid the champion again was the experience they've had, unlike Liverpool, they didn't create much chances but they put the little they had to use and it paid off. Liverpool suffered the same fate as Chelsea and Manchester City–creating plenty chances but failing to convert them. I went to the viewing center to support my England neighbor, hoping I could sing "you will never walk alone" at the end of the match, but I ended up singing "Hala Madrid" as Madrid deservedly took the great UCL Trophy home.
one thing with Real Madrid is that their playing strategies in champions league always come with a surprise and how this happens remains a mystery for many, they will make their way to the finals and they may not necessarily perform well in their last match but they will ended up winning, how this happens is still a mystery, during the championship it got to an extent that Liverpool dominated the match but Mohammed Sallah couldn't make a goal when he had the first opportunity, it a thing of pity that Liverpool could not take the trophy at last despite their good beginnings all through.

Real Madrid had a very poor performance generally but they still used their chances in a very effective way. They did the best thing they do always. They scored the goal by a very quick counter-attack. This was the thing I was hoping for to happen because it would make the game more enjoyable. I was expecting to see Liverpool playing their usual dominant game after that goal in the end. I'm afraid Liverpool weren't that much impressive still. They had some important chances and Courtois didn't let them score. Congratulations to Real Madrid and their fans!
I think, it was a surprised victory to many people, because the first half performance showed that Liverpool has a good performance than Real Madrid that made many people to concluded that Liverpool will defeat Real Madrid but the game later changed for the favour of Real Madrid. Liverpool defenders allowed Real Madrid strikers to embraced one goal that brought them victory at the end of the match. Real Madrid used their opportunity well compared to Liverpool strikers that missed so many opportunities in both the first half and the second half.
The only thing I think surprised most people is the fact that Liverpool couldn't register a goal after all their numerous goal attempts, Liverpool performed well in both half having almost 8 shots on goal but Real Madrid keeper Courtois saved all the good shots that would have resulted to goals, Madrid defenders did a great job too because they were fast and accurate in clearing balls coming towards there goal post. And Madrid played more with experience having scored a goal that was ruled as offside by VAR in the first half, they still fired another strike that lead to the only goal by Vinicous Junior, Madrid was tactically better than Liverpool.
There are many people who are dissatisfied with the performance of Real Madrid, but it is the champion, some considered Liverpool champion, but the one who scores the goals is the one who wins, Liverpool had many shots on goal but they were not efficient, I don't know they can complain, we have to accept that the best in the UCL was Real Madrid, they are the champion, on the other hand it is cup number 14 for Real Madrid, they already have history and that somehow influences, I knew that if Real Madrid beat Man City and was going to be the champion, and in fact it was like that.
On the other hand, I liked Benzema's gesture of letting Marcelo be the Captain in order to raise the cup, it was a great gesture.
In the final Real Madrid just waited and played very carefully, it can be seen from the statistics they made. They only created 2 shots on target, one of which became a goal. It might not be so bad to see them win the match but of course it's hard to believe that Liverpool managed to put Real Madrid under pressure until the end of the match.
Anceloti is aware his players are not strong enough to play too openly. Many of Madrid's senior players are over 30 years old and that is very different from Liverpool. Indeed Madrid's game was very lost to Liverpool. The game was exactly the same against Chelsea and Man City, madrid did not dominate much but they were effective in counterattacks and finishing finishes. During the final Thibaut also had a very crucial role, otherwise he made Save 9 times. Chelsea should have felt a sense of loss by releasing it to Madrid. He is still 30 years old he still has quite a long time if he performs stable with Madrid.
