Champions League: Real Madrid Are Champions of 2021-22 Season

 

Real Madrid have emerged as the champions after beating Liverpool by a lone goal and manager Carlos Ancelotti clinched the trophy for the fourth time with the club. 

Liverpool lost the hope to grab the title for the first time since 2018-19 when Vincius Junior left unmarked in the box and tapped home Valverdes' through passing the 59th minute after Real made a break from the half. 

Reds also had their moments but brilliant goalkeeping skills from Thibaut Courtois kept Real through especially when he denied Mohamed Salah what should have been an equalizer for Reds.

The Brazilian, Junior, became the first South American player after Lionel Messi in 2008-09, to have been involved the 10+ goals (6 assists, 4 goals) at his age, 21, in a UEFA Champions League competition. 

Real also became a 14-time champions of the competition and Ancelotti became the first manager to ever lift the trophy for four times.
