The Reds reign supreme

Mohamed Salah's early penalty and DivockOrigi's late strike earned Liverpool a 2-0 win over Tottenham in the Champions League final in Madrid.

Making history as the first ever Champion League final that didn’t witness a single card during the game.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been disconsolate for the past six years having accumulated consecutive losses with his last taste of victory in 2012 with the German Cup.

After the incredible celebrations on the pitch at Estadio Metropolitano, the manager reflected on the achievement at his post-match press conference stating “The result, obviously. We all spoke about it a lot, I played many more finals than I won, we always played better football. Tonight it was a big challenge for both teams to deal with the three-week [break] because you never have a period with three weeks and no game. So keep the rhythm or get the rhythm back actually. Then obviously it was different circumstances for two English teams, it was pretty warm. You saw it was a fight. A final is about the result and we need to make this experience a little bit longer or more often than others. Tonight the boys showed it, the resilience and everything you need to block the decisive balls,”
