As Liverpool faced Real Madrid the reigning champions of Europe, many thought that the Red Army led by Mo Salah , Bobby Firmini and Sadio Mane will be enough to take down Sergio Ramos and co. But little did they knew what was waiting for them at Kiev for the final showdown.
Liverpool were the most dominant force in this edition of UCL bagging a record of 41 goals Salah (11), Mane (10), Firmino(11) and the only team behind them were none other than Real Madrid scoring 33 goals with Ronaldo topping the charts (15), Karim Benzema(5) goals.
Hosted at NSC Olimpiyskiy, Kiev the game started with a mishap when Liverpool lost their most in-form player Mohammed Salah because of a tackle by Ramos and failed to continue the match with a pain in shoulder and was replace by Adam Lallana at the 39th minute of the game. Maybe this was the moment when the tables turned and the lady luck blessed Madrid again.
His absence left the attack in-complete and Real Madrid kept on pressing Liverpool, with the rising pressure Liverpool’s goalkeeper started loosing nerves under pressure, that’s when Karius made a clumsy mistake gifting Madrid the first goal of the match and Benzema putting the ball back of the net 1-0 for Real Madrid.
Liverpool were not ready to go unanswered and Sadio Mane took the charge of the game and equalized in just 4 minutes from the restart of the game. Meanwhile Ronaldo was no where to be found and Real Madrid were been pushed back just when Gareth Bale was introduced in place of Isco. And boy oh boy the Welshman man ripped Liverpool apart scoring a brace.
Giving Real Madrid a healthy 2-1 lead and then a screamer by Bale which took Karius by surprise and faltered to deny the ball from going in the back of the net making the game 3-1.
Real Madrid showed the world why they are called the “KING OF EUROPE” winning the title for 13th time and also 3 times in a row after Ajax and Bayern Munich. They displayed their Brilliance and Experience in the champions league after suffering a humiliating campaign in Copa Del Ray and La Liga. 
Real Madrid are up against their city rivals Athletico Madrid in Uefa Super Cup. While Mohammed Salah is set to miss the world cup with a shoulder injury a huge blow for Egypt, but he (Salah)has vowed to return to take on Russia, Saudi Arabia and Uruguay for the world cup group stage matches.
Best Performer of the night:
Undoubtedly Gareth Bale who scored a brace leading Real Madrid to claim the title for 3rd consecutive season also was crowned the man of the match.
.
Worst performer of the night:
Well it’s a harsh to blame Karius, but he will like to forget the night and what happened in Kiev. Making two grave mistake or the game would have took a different turn. But the captain of Liverpool Henderson, Lovren and Van Dijk defended their team-mate and backed him by putting the blame on the complete team, Well that’s how you define “You Never Walk Alone”.
Also Liverpool fans displayed the most beautiful a part of the game supporting the team till the 90th min plus 3 mins of extra time. What a brilliant display of sportsman ship also gave a standing ovation to Dani Carvajal when he was stretched off the field because of an injury.
Well some Fans needs to learn from them surely!
In the End.
YOU NEVER WALK ALONE
