However, Klopp's charges fell short in the encounter as the La Liga giants secured a 1-0 narrow win to win the tournament.

Liverpool created a number of golden chances and went close through Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Diogo Jota, but were denied by the incredible Thibaut Courtois.

However, Vinicius Jr's goal in the 59th minute of the clash was eventually the only difference as Liverpool suffered a heartbreak.
