Real Madrid won their third consecutive UEFA Champions League on account of snapshots of radiant brilliance from Gareth Bale and blunders from Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius. Karim Benzema opened the scoring courtesy of goalkeeper's error.



Mohamed Salah was led off after sustaining what appears to be a shoulder injury but Sadio Mane rose up to the challenge - scoring a goal to put underdog Liverpool on level term but soon fell way behind on the scoreboard.
