Real Madrid win Champions League as brilliant Bale sinks Liverpool Read moreSergio Ramos 8/10 The villain as far as Liverpool are concerned. Knew what he was doing when he dragged down Mohamed Salah but, as a defender, the captain was completely dominant. Casemiro 7/10 The unheralded but key part of this Real Madrid team performed effectively and diligently as usual, helping to curb Firmino’s influence on the Liverpool display. Toni Kroos 6/10 Operated too deep throughout the final and that left Ronaldo and Benzema isolated too often as a consequence. Cristiano Ronaldo 7/10 A rarity in that this was a major final that the world player of the year did not bend to his will.
