Real Madrid win Champions League as Vinícius Júnior strike sinks Liverpool

The Brazilian met Federico Valverde's low cross at the far post and swept the ball beyond Alisson just before the hour. The goal proved enough to earn Real Madrid their 14th European Cup as Liverpool failed to find a way past goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who produced an inspired display.

Kick-off in Paris was delayed by 35 minutes amid chaotic scenes outside the Stade de France, with many Liverpool fans unable to get into the ground in time for the scheduled kick-off. The players came out for a second warm-up due to the delay, before the game began in subdued fashion.
