Tale of the match: Gareth Bale of Real Madrid celebrates his side's third goal, as Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius sprawls in dejection. For Liverpool, this game will be remembered for the disaster that befell goalkeeper Karius in the second half, and for Salah's tears as he departed the pitch at the NSC Olympiyskyi. Those injuries temporarily took the sting out of the game after an enthralling start, with Liverpool on top. If that was a let-off for Liverpool, they were their own worst enemies at the start of the second half. Mane hit the post for Liverpool in between Bale's strikes, but they will have to wait a while yet before winning their sixth European Cup.
