Real Madrid Beats Liverpool For 14th Champions League Title, Confirms As Most Successful Football Club On Earth
Liverpool were disappointing and missed out on the chance to win a cup treble as they suffered a poor defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League final on Saturday. The Reds were aiming for their third trophy of the season, but were made to pay for a string of missed chances and series of poor play.
With this victory, Real Madrid we’re confirmed to be most successful football/soccer club on earth.
Liverpool dominated the opening 45 minutes, but were almost made to pay for failing to take any of their chances when Karim Benzema scored late in the half. The French striker tapped in after Ibrahima Konate and Fabinho, only for VAR to disallow the goal.
The Reds could have had the lead on numerous occasions beforehand, but Thibaut Courtois was in fine form to deny Sadio Mane with one of the best saves in recent memory. Vinicius Jr made the difference when he popped up at the back post to tap in from close range with Madrid’s first shot on target of the match with half an hour to go.
Despite a brave performance from Liverpool, they were unable to make any of their chances pay and were ultimately made to pay for their ineffectiveness in front of goal. Here are Liverpool’s four worst players from the disappointing defeat.
