Liverpool vs Real Madrid

Spurs news: What Jurgen Klopp said after Real Madrid vs Liverpool in the Champions League final would have pricked the ears of Tottenham supporters.

The Reds drew 1-1 with Antonio Conte's Tottenham side as the Premier League season came towards its conclusion and it was those two dropped points for Liverpool that had a huge impact on the outcome of the title in the end. After the game he said: "It was the two decisions against us were the smallest margins possible. I think they [Spurs] are world-class, and I think they should do more for the game. So that's why I cannot do it. As expected, Liverpool dominated large chunks of the Champions League final, with Real keeper Thibaut Courtois named man of the match for a string of fine saves. The Reds had 24 shots to Real's four, enjoyed 54% of the possession and had more passes.

Once I’d got there I was let in with my pass and headed to thepress area to watch the remaining 25 minutes of the first half. There will be an investigation - but it’s a catalogue of failures from the top. When I’d texted him to get a meeting point, he said he had been mugged. With the fans now locked out, the anger started to rise and tension had mounted. I had no choice but to hunt around the outer concourse for an alternative entrance. After a scuffle and handing the fan a right hook, the gang got away. There was also a journalist next to me with accreditation who was being ignored. The back of my throat was on fire slowly spreading behind my eyeballs and then into my eyes. I began to taste pepper. Once I’d made it through to the front, the four stewards were hostile. The tear gas that the fans I’d spoken to had been talking about. A sign that nobody else was getting in.

Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson slammed the “shambles” that saw the Champions League final delayed by 35 minutes.

“What I heard is that we will have further investigations to figure out what was going on there. The Champions League should be a celebration but it wasn’t that,” Robertson said. It wasn’t a nice experience, not a nice final to come to.

Champions League final: Vinicius Jr scored in the 59th minute of the game to help Real Madrid defeat Liverpool 1-0.

It was Vinicius Jr who scored a goal for the Los Blancos as Carlo Ancelotti's side got the better of the Reds and in the end, they registered a 1-0 victory against the Premier League giants. Last Sunday, Manchester City won the Premier League after defeating Aston Villa 3-2 while Liverpool finished second, only one point behind the table-toppers. After winning the La Liga, Real Madrid added another feather to their kitty this season by winning the biggest European title.

Salah was out to avenge his miserable 2018 Champions League Final against Los Blancos which ended in injury and defeat, but once again came away ...

- tried to respond and would have scored twice in the second half had he not come up against someone doing a wonderful impression of Superman in the Real goal. Back in 2018 Salah had left the pitch in floods of them after damaging his shoulder in a tangle with Sergio Ramos. He was unable to control his emotions and cried more from the pain of not being able to help his team, more than the eventual outcome. Moments later Salah tested the Real goalkeeper again with a powerful strike. But the scars of 2018 have run the deepest and never healed. His road to redemption had led him to Paris and the chance to "settle an old score" with the team he still had nightmares about. It had been his first Final, but he ended it sitting in a Kyiv hospital having his shoulder examined.

Thousands of Liverpool fans were stranded in queues for hours and some were even tear-gassed ahead of the Champions League final, prompting Reds legend ...

The UK Government are backing Liverpool's plea for UEFA to launch a "formal investigation," as Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries declared: "The footage and accounts from Liverpool fans and the media on their entry to the Stade de France last night are deeply concerning. Liverpool and Real Madrid fans were in Paris to have a great time, not cause trouble." Before their side's agonising 1-0 defeat to Real Madrid, Liverpool supporters were tear-gassed and stranded in queues for hours outside of the Stade de France in Paris, with riot police even deployed.

Despite Liverpool's defeat Jürgen Klopp has one positive to take from the Reds' 1-0 loss to Real Madrid in the Champions League final.

But he also has the physical characteristics to make him a nuisance for opposition attackers with the perfect blend of pace and strength. It was a bold decision for Klopp to deploy the Frenchman in the final given Joël Matip's considerable experience. Despite the two trophies in the bag, this season will always be remembered as one of marginal close calls and what ifs.
