Real Madrid rules again after Carlo Ancelotti registers fourth CL title

• Real Madrid beat Liverpool in the Champions League Final 1-0.
• Jurgen Klopp has lost his second championship match and his second to Real Madrid.
• The German coach struggled to defend the league title and ultimately conceded it to Manchester City.

Numerous Liverpool fans attempted to enter the Stade de France before the major game in order to see their team’s success in Europe. However, their aspirations were dashed when Los Blancos returned the trophy to Real Madrid.

Carlo Ancelotti’s squad triumphed at Stade de France to win their 14th Champions League (CL) championship. In the 59th minute of play, Fede Valverde assisted Vinicius Junior on a goal that he scored with authority.

The kickoff was delayed by 36 minutes because the stadium’s administration had difficulty accommodating Liverpool fans. As soon as the ball entered the arena, the Reds appeared to assume complete control of the game. They exerted pressure, rolled the ball around Real’s 30-yard box, and produced important shots on goal.

Just before the halftime whistle, Ancelotti’s team recorded their first shot on goal, an effort by Karim Benzema that was ruled offside due to a significant blunder that has become controversial. Alisson Becker lunged out to seize the ball; thus, the ball came loose from Fabinho and landed at the feet of the Frenchman, who scored despite being offside.

Experts and commentators think that the goal by Benzema should not have been disallowed because the final touch was made by Liverpool’s number five.

However, the sole rationale for disallowing the goal is that Fabihno passed the ball unintentionally, resulting in the goal scorer being in an offside position.

Statistically, Liverpool dominated the game, but Real Madrid’s strategy to invite them to their 30-yard end and score on the counter established them as the winners after 90 minutes. Los Blancos mustered only two shots on goal, but the one-goal advantage was sufficient for Real Madrid to clinch victory.

Thibaut Courtois was awarded the game’s most valuable player after putting on an incredible performance, blocking important strikes and keeping Real Madrid from surrendering a goal.

This is Carlo Ancelotti’s fourth Champions League championship. The Italian manager has now surpassed Bob Paisley and Zinedine Zidane to become the first manager to win four titles. This is his second championship with Real, having previously won twice with AC Milan.

Jurgen Klopp has lost his third championship match and his second to Real Madrid. The German coach struggled to defend the league title and ultimately conceded it to Manchester City by a single point. After defeating Chelsea on penalties in both the FA cup and the carabao cup, Liverpool added two more trophies to their collection.

This was a major setback for the reds, who had hoped to exact revenge on Madrid in 2018 final, but the Spanish winners ended up reminiscing about their victory in Kiev. Liverpool, on the other hand, have established themselves as unyielding adversaries, and Jurgen Klopp stated after the match, “book the hotel for the next final.”
