Great final I thought Real Madrid tactically out thought Liverpool and that is why they came away with the trophy Liverpool had the chances on the night to win but they did not take them. Real Madrid had 2 shots on target and scored 1 of them and that disallowed goal which I think was onside. Liverpool are a great team but experience pays off in finals.
Yes, in terms of opportunities, Liverpool's chances are far more than Real Madrid's. But effectively Real Madrid is much more effective. They actually played defensively and waited for mistakes made by Liverpool, and it worked for Real Madrid. But Real Madrid's success cannot be separated from the appearance of their goalkeeper who played very well.
Liverpool has big ambitions to beat Madrid. they appear aggressive from the first half. at the same time, Madrid looked calm with a game that dampened Liverpool's pace.
Unfortunately, Liverpool followed the pattern that Madrid deliberately made. Madrid has good experience in reading the opponent's strategy. Congratulations to Madrid and the fans.

After all, Thibaut Courtois did very well in this match having managed a lot of saves. Ancelotti really managed to make a defensive strategy with a deadly counter-attack, who would have thought Real Madrid as a big team played like a mediocre team in the final. Many of the bettors chose both teams to score for their bet but the result was 1-0, obviously it was a losing bet and thus Liverpool's struggle to keep on attacking was in vain as it didn't produce the expected result.
I don't know what to say because honestly Real Madrid have really proven to the world that they are the only team to achieve such a high level of success in the Champions League title until this season. A total of 14 titles have been held so far and they have only failed in 3 of the 17 finals. Incredibly, that is the reaction they deserve at the moment and I also congratulate them on their success last night.

An interesting match from both teams, it seems that many have suffered losses for Liverpool's defeat in this final match.  Grin Grin
Outside of this match, I was interested in some of the poses taken by some Real Madrid players, such as Benzema, Marcelo, Bale and others with their 5 finger poses which signifies that they have won the Champions League title 5 times. The pose was first done by former Real Madrid player, Cristiano Ronaldo.
When two strong teams like Real Madrid and Liverpool meets it can be hard to predict who will win the game. Real Madrid scored Liverpool from the little opportunity they had. I was expecting Liverpool to win, to my greatest surprise Liverpool lose the game.

This final was far the easiest game in the run for Real Madrid this season. They never look uncomfortable because they know they can hurt any team when the midfield trio decide to up their game and the attackers were clinical. The hype was too much from the English media made fans think Liverpool could defeat Ancelotti's side.

Carlo Ancelotti is now the first coach on the planet to have the most champions league finals wins of any other coach with his 4 victories in the champions league


Good stat for Ancelotti. He is good, calm and compose. A bunch of experience, he doesn't succum to pressure and he can handle both big and average clubs.
The next in line that will surpass Ancelotti stat is Zidane. He is a way younger and he has what it takes to get the honor.

He was present in the finals, very calm and standing throughout the match. After the finals Madrid players went to greet the hero and legend.
Madrid is more than football club, it is a moving force.
Ancelotti has been a master class, Everton FC was just not a club of his level. Everton couldn't assimilate his top class coaching abilities and relatively Everton is not a power house in the premier league.  Ancelotti really didn't need to change much in the Real Madrid team, imagine he could do in a club with resources like Manchester City

Real Madrid managed to kill several players who had been predicted to be troublesome from the start, such as Luiz Dias. Even though they didn't really turn off the movement of all the players like Mohammed Salah who still got a lot of potential goals. But the performances of their first-choice goalkeeper made up for what their defenders couldn't. Yes Courtois is Liverpool's nightmare in this match.


We have to appreciate the Real Madrid goalkeeper this time, from all the Real Madrid players, the Real Madrid goalkeeper who was the most shining and contributed to bringing Real Madrid to victory.
This is a new history for world football, because it is the only team that has won the Champions League 14 times. I think it took decades to catch up with the titles that Real Madrid won.
Yes, Thibaut Courtois has indeed been the shining star in the Champions League final because his brilliant action managed to make his team not concede a goal. However, Real Madrid's victory was inseparable from the persistence of all the players throughout the game, especially the action of Vinicius Junior who managed to score a goal, and a good assist made by Valverde. Even though Liverpool dominated the game, but 1 goal from Vinicius Junior was able to bring Real Madrid to become champion.

We will try it again in the Champions League next season. I'm not so disappointed, because it doesn't hurt too much, real madrid are only 1-0 up against our favorite team Liverpool. But I still admit that Real Madrid is better than Liverpool this season. Nothing needs to change, the match have been good enough from Liverpool. Congratulations to the Real Madrid fans

Real Madrid is very lucky. They are big clubs, there are lots of talented players on the team. I accept everything. But in almost every match, they have won incredibly. I did not expect Madrid to win against PSG. Real Madrid scored 3 goals after the 90th minutes against Manchester City and won the match. Although Liverpool played well in the final,but they did not win. Real Madrid has won the Champions League for the 14th time.
I don't want to agree that Real Madrid were lucky throughout the competition, Real Madrid had tougher opponents to get to the finals. I will credit their victory to the fact that they are more tactical and stronger mentally than been just lucky. They won against Chelsea, PSG, and Manchester City, that's a show of class, superior tactics and strong mentality.

There were statements for some people in my country that if you want to get champion league trophy then do not ever let Madrid went to the final because if they can reach to final match then it is almost 100% they will win the trophy and it just happens today that Madrid eleminated Liverpool however after this result then Karim Benzema, Luca Modrid and Dani Carvajal now equal to Cristiano Ronaldo records with became the players who able to get 5 champion league trophies during their career and with this trophy Real Madrid deserved called as the king of champion league

Do not forget that they were doing this since the Last 16 round.

That is,,, not playing proper football for almost 90 minutes (or in KO round not even the entire first leg) and then magically winning the game at the end. They say it is luck, belief, psychology, whatever it is, they win it against all the probabilities.

Real Madrid is king. Undisputed. Only lost 1 or 2 finals.

That was a pretty entertaining game to watch.
I don't know why the Benzema goal was canceled? Was it really offside? I think that the VAR team made a mistake, but whatever.
Liverpool did the best they can at scoring a goal, but Courtois is the best goalkeeper in the world right now.
Both teams had a great performance. Valverde was working really hard to the right flank. Vinicius Jr. was blocked 99% of the time by the Liverpool defenders, but he was at the right place and in the right time, when he scored the goal, nobody from Liverpool was covering him.
I wonder why Klopp didn't choose Firmino to begin the match instead of Luis Diaz. Mane and Salah did what they can to score a goal, but something was missing in Liverpool's attacks.
Anyway, congratulations to Real Madrid for the 14th Champions League cup.
Karim Benzema was offside because Robertson was the first defender since Goalie went in front; the second was Virgil and Benzema was behind him when the ball was deflected off Fabinho. According to the rule, since the ball was deflected and not an intentional play from Fabinho to an offside offensive player, it's an offside hence the goal can't count.

Looking g at the entire game play, can we say Real Madrid was lucky and Liverpool was beseech by hard luck?
I doubt that the case here. There is nothing like luck here in these games, perhaps it's all a due to strategy. If we look at it closely, we can in a the tough games Real Madrid played from PSG, Chelsea down to Manchester City. Real Madrid played very little in this game and still they delivered the blow that mattered and pushed on go qualify.

They first of all try to absorb your pressure and calm the game down in the first half and then, they push through in the second half to create chances that could be quiet dangerous and damaging. The best way to win Real Madrid is to end the game right from the first half but as real as we've seen, even with 2minutes on the clock and a 3 goal difference to qualify, Real Madrid have still got better chances of qualifying than there contenders. Real Madrid is just better this season and they've got Carlo Ancelotti to thank for it.

Based on strategy and experience Madrid is unquestionable like you said they've done it for the 3rd time vs PSG, Manchester City and Liverpool. But luck here is with the goalkeeper based on Madrid record almost always conceded in the champions league but somehow Liverpool can't score.
They have a world class striker who has won several competitions recently of course there is no doubt right? Well this is why this win can be called luck, apart from strategy of course.

Real Madrid are the Champions of Europe after beating Liverpool to lift their 14th time champions league trophy. I must say, the game was a tight one for the Los Blancos side, however they escape through the hands of the reds by playing a defensive and counter attack game. Madrid boss, Carlo Ancelloti is also the coach with the highest number of Champions league title, he has won it 4times presently and Madrid president Florentino Perez is happy with for a job well done for the team.
Real Madrid are European Champions for a record 14th time. Real Madrid are truly the king of Champions league, they register 14th time champions league trophy. My due respect to Courtois for his extraordinary performance in the final. Madrid boss, Carlo came out nowhere and delivered a champions league trophy. Real Madrid had a game plan, stepped up a gear and attack Liverpool. They got a goal, so things executed perfectly.

What I like about Madrid season is the difficulties they suffer from the beginning of the season and how they turn things around,on their road to champions League success they did not play easy team, infact they played the best and favourite to win it this season, first it was Paris Saint Germain, a team consider the favourite,a team that contains Lionel Messi Neymar and Mbappe but some how Madrid manage to sail through after that bad first leg,then Chelsea who before then was better than real Madrid, then they was Manchester City before Liverpool so you see it was a road for them.

Yes they were struggling much this season in Champions League, they did not start the competition really well and there were many people doubt that RM will be able to compete with other bigger teams. In the final match, bookmarker did not even put them as favorite but again Real Madrid proved that they are the real champion even though many people doubt it. Well, congratulations for them to lift the 14th trophy. Sorry to Liverpool, they are better team than Real Madrid but their luck was not that good in the final game.

Wow, it was a great match to watch, in the first half I thought Liverpool was better and favorite to win, but Real did it again, against the odds, they won the match.
At the last 10 minutes I thought again Liverpool could score a goal, it was close but this Champions were made for Real Madrid hehehehe  Cheesy
I can't remember a team who won these matches like RM did, after the lost of the first match versus PSG I really thought RM would lost the championship, and PSG would go to the finals...

I'm happy because I won a bet online, I bet 100 and won 135 (bet was 2.35 on Real winning the champions)
And I won two minor bets with my friends, 5 bucks from each one  Grin Grin Grin
It was a profitable match for me
