(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
Liverpool's hopes of being crowned champions of Europe for a
seventh time ended in heartbreak at the hands of Real Madrid in
Paris, Trend reports
citing Beinsports .
Brazilian forward Vinicius Jr, who was played onside by Trent
Alexander-Arnold, scored the only goal of the final as Real sealed
a Champions League-La Liga double.
Liverpool had several attempts on target but were frustrated by
by a brilliant goalkeeping display by Thibaut Courtois, the former
Chelsea man tipping Sadio Mane's attempt on to the post before
keeping out Mohamed Salah late on with a superb one-handed
save.
The final started 36 minutes after the scheduled 20:00 BST
kick-off due to 'security reasons' after pictures emerged in the
build-up of huge crowds of fans queuing to get in the Stade de
France.
