For the 14th time in its history, Real Madrid was crowned European champions in Paris.
The Spanish team prevailed 1-0 over Liverpool in the Champions League final, which started 36΄ late, and reached 14 trophies in the tournament.
The only goal of the match was scored by Vinicius in the 59th minute after an assist by Valverde, but the one who was the MVP and kept Real standing with his saves was Tibor Courtois.
The Belgian had 9 saves (a record) and closed the year with 59 (again a record)!
Mohamed Salah was a permanent source of danger but he could not beat the Belgian.
Mane hit the goalpost in the 20th minute, maybe in his last game in Liverpool, since, as everything shows, he will be transferred to Bayern Munich.
Kostas Tsimikas did not play.
Liverpool, which was better in the game but could not score.
Carlos Ancelotti made history by winning the 4th Champions League. The Italian coach is first in the relevant list.
Ricky Gervais has broken the spell of wokeness
The kick-off of the biggest game in the football world started 36 minutes late and the cause was because of what sadly happened outside the Stade de France.
Thousands of fans were left off the pitch just minutes before the start, with the security measures being simply tragic. Huge queues, tear gas and pepper spray from the police, but also dozens of fans without the magic paper in the stadium. On the contrary, many with the ticket in their hands waited in vain to enter the stadium. UEFA blamed the situation on the late arrival of the fans, but the bad organization was captured in the pictures and it spells “fiasco”!
