Real Madrid have won their 14th Champions League title, courtesy of their 1-0 win over Liverpool in Paris on Saturday.
Vinicius’ strike gave the Spanish side the opener, with Real Madrid becoming the most successful European club in Champions league history.
Despite a troubled start to the final, the players took to the field half an hour later and gave a footballing recital at the Stade de France.

‘Los Blancos’ have put the icing on the cake to a very good season after winning La Liga, the Spanish Super Cup and now the Champions League.
Liverpool started by dominating, and Mane managed to hit the post after a great save by Courtois. The Reds continued to dominate, but Madrid were comfortable and well organised in defence.
However, just before half-time came the controversy of the final. Benzema scored after a Fabinho rebound was disallowed by the French referee.
It was in the 60th minute when a great move by Ancelotti’s men ended in a goal. A great cross from Fede Valverde that no Liverpool defender could clear, ended up on the boots of Vinicius for his fourth goal in the Champions League. This goal would be the only one we would see in this great final in Paris.
Liverpool continued to press but failed to equalise, and Madrid could even have scored a second.
