@neLendirekt:

"There's not a world where Real Madrid deserves it with what they showed on the pitch overall. They are far from being the best team in that CL. But that heart, that team spirit, that mental, that magic... for that they deserve it. That's what makes football special. #RMALIV #UCL"

Real Madrid pip Liverpool to Champions League trophy

Real Madrid won the 2021/2022 Champions League as they sank Liverpool in a pulsating final at the Stade de France on Saturday, May 28.

A solitary goal from Vinicius Junior was enough for Carlo Ancelotti’s side to claim victory at the expense of Liverpool, who will have to settle for two domestic trophies this season.

Liverpool was constantly frustrated by the brilliance of goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who was in inspired form

Benzema's disallowed goal divides opinions among soccer fans

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that football fans across the globe had mixed reactions after Karim Benzema's goal was ruled out for offside in the finals of the UEFA Champions League.

Games of such nature and magnitude are always characterized by defining moments which affect the destiny of the game and this season's finals witnessed a similar incident.

After a frantic start to the game by Liverpool, Real Madrid managed to neutralize their English opponents and came closest to breaking the duck just before halftime.
