Carlo Ancelotti won his fourth Champions League as a coach, with Thibaut Courtois, his goalkeeper, being named the best player.
Madrid began their campaign on September 28 with a 1-0 loss at home to Sheriff Tiraspol of Romania, one of the great Cup upsets of the modern era. They lost one of their legs in each of the knockout rounds, against Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, and then Manchester City in the semi-final. They have, however, clung on to keep winning by the tiniest of margins, and this triumph was proof of their determination.
On the night, Liverpool had the most shots of any losing Champions League finalist, with 24 shots. This season, they have appeared in three finals and have yet to score a goal in any of them. Mohamed Salah had the most attempts on target in a Champions League final with six, however, he unable to convert any of the shot as the Madrid defence was so strong today.
