Real Madrid’s incredible dominance in the Champions League continued – events outside the stadium cast a dark shadow over the final night

Real Madrid have won the 14th Football Champions League or previous European Cup. That’s double the number of the second-highest-earning AC Milan.

Real Madrid beat Liverpool in the Champions League final 1-0 in Saturday night. The winning goal was struck in the 59th minute by a 21-year-old brassi striker Vinicius Junior. I was served a great feed for this Federico Valverde.

The character of the match was Real’s Belgian goalkeeper, 30 years old Thibaut Courtoiswho kept the white shirts upright especially during the first half of the match. In addition, Courtois clarified the few places Liverpool won in the loss-making position.

Real’s 62-year-old Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti rose to four Champions League victories, a new record. In addition, when Real Madrid won the Spanish league this season, Ancelotti became the first to win a championship in each of the five largest leagues in Europe (Spain, Germany, England, Italy, France).

Previously Cristiano Ronaldo there were a record five Champions League victories. Now real players rose to five Champions League victories Luka Modric, Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale, Isco, Dani Carvajal and Marcelo.

For Liverpool, the season was finally stinging. The English had the opportunity to win up to four trophies. Only the Scottish Celtic in 1966-67 has achieved this. In the end, it was content with winning the English Cup (FA Cup) and the League Cup. It finished second in the Premier League and lost to the Champions League final.

The start of the match was delayed by 35 minutes for “safety reasons”. Many media reports that the arrangements at the stadium were disappointing, causing thousands of fans to be stuck outside the stadium when the match was due to begin. Fans also got pepper spray, which raised a rage.

That’s how things went.

The first 25 minutes of the match went entirely under Liverpool. In minutes 15-18, Liverpool were able to test Real-guard Thibaut Curtois’ defensive work several times, but the Belgian grabbed Mohamed Salahin and Thiagon companies.

At 20 minutes Sadio Mane a great shot in the right direction between a pair of Real defenders. Courtois saved a shot from a distance of about 15 meters by blocking it from the post.

At half an hour, Real began to gain more control. It flashed twice its most dangerous weapon, attempts to strike the back of the Liverpool defense quickly after the ball-holes with the help of its wind-fast winger Vinicius Junior. Liverpool Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold were able to cut vertical feeds.

At the very end of the first half, the winner of the Champions League goal exchange, Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema hit the ball into the net, but the situation was offside. Benzema took a long pass, but was unable to finish on the next try. The ball bounced in front of the goal and was hit by both the Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson that topper Ibrahima Konate.

The ball then bounced off Benzema, who was offside. The question was whether the ball came to Benzema from Real’s player’s stutter or the defenders’ stutter. After rewinding the long video, it became clear that the ball came to Benzema because Real’s striker Federico Valverde got his foot on the ball, not because the defenders deliberately played it.

Ball control leveled off sharply towards the end of the first half, with the percentage in the opening half for Liverpool 52-48. Shots were scored for Liverpool 10-1 in the first half and 5-0 per goal.

The second half also started with a Liverpool brand. Courtois got a couple more fights, but the places were not dangerous.

After 59 minutes, Real sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. The ball was played to the right of Federico Valverde, who drove towards Liverpool. Benzema made a move to the front post, Vinicius Junior left behind. Valverde hit that from around 35 yards out and Alisson and couldn’t do anything about, dipping and swerving, it did him all ends up.

Liverpool did not score many goals in the end, despite strong pressure.

With 69 minutes played, Courtois had a fantastic opportunity to reply but his shot flew harmlessly into the side-netting of the goal. From Liverpool Midfield Jordan Henderson gave a high concentration in the back post. Come to the ring Diogo Jota pushed it to another post, but the Belgian goalkeeper managed to block Salah’s goal.

Later, Salah got the ball to the right and misled the wing Ferland Mendynbut Courtois took the magic close control with his arm.

Throughout the match, the possession of the ball was recorded in Liverpool at 54-46 per cent. The shots went to Liverpool 21-3 and the shots 7-2 to the goal.

The start of the match was delayed by about 35 minutes for “safety reasons”. Releases at the stadium said the reason was the late arrival of fans at the stadium. Especially in the auditorium parts of Liverpool, there were still plenty of empty seats when the game had to start.

The stadium was also accessible to spectators who did not have tickets. However, the biggest problems, according to international media, were due to the failure of security inspections.

BBC’s John Watson said he had passed hundreds of Liverpool fans who queued at the entrance gates an hour before the start to get in.

– I do not understand that the delay was attributed to the late arrival of the fans, he stated.

Police also used pepper spray. For example, ESPN Mark Ogden said fans who are quietly waiting with their tickets outside the gates have been sprayed with pepper spray.

– This is a scandal. In the meantime, the opening is underway as if nothing had happened. This is all a bit surreal, and I can’t believe the game is about to begin when so many fans are still stuck outside, the Guardian match watch criticized.

– Police have used pepper spray, there are children and the elderly in the queue, they have been queuing for two hours. People are angry because they are treated this way. I have not seen such outrage, but it is due to the failure of the authorities, a BBC reporter reports.

– This is such a pity. There are still so many empty seats in Liverpool’s auditorium. Everyone has worked so hard to get here. It is an absolute shame that not everyone with tickets can enter without their own reason, wrote the legend of British football Alan Shearer.

One of the BBC reporters present said it was no wonder the start of the match was delayed. He said he anticipated problems early in the afternoon because there were also so many fans present who didn’t have a ticket.

– Thousands of fans were in a bottleneck just behind the underpass when I tried to get close to the stadium a couple of hours before the match. And there was a huge crowd at the gates well in advance of the scheduled start, which was at 9pm local time. The atmosphere was already tense at that time because the queue was not moving.

A New York Times reporter, among others, also shared his findings on Twitter Tariq Panja. He said people have tickets but have not been able to get in due to a system error, and then angry fans have been gassed.

The final was originally scheduled to take place in St. Petersburg, but Uefa moved the match to Paris due to Russia’s attack on Ukraine.

The stadium had a capacity of 80,000 spectators, but 30,000 to 40,000 Liverpool supporters without a ticket were suspected to have arrived in the city.
