Real Madrid tiene un imán especialmente diseñado para ganar la Champions League. Los merengues derrotaron a Liverpool por 1-0 y obtuvieron la decimocuarta Orejona de su historia.
El gol lo hizo Vinícius Jr., al 58', cerrando la pinza a un centro potente de Federico Valverde.
Real Madrid ace Karim Benzema thought he had scored the opening goal of the 2022 UEFA Champions League final when a mad scramble in Liverpool’s box ended up with the Frenchman slotting the ball into the net. A lengthy VAR ultimately decided that Benzema was offside.
This call was controversial to say the least.

The 2022 Champions League Final — the most anticipated match of the year featuring Real Madrid and Liverpool, two of the world's most-followed clubs — was delayed 36 minutes after chaos outside the Stade de France in Paris resulted in the closure of gates and the slow filtering of supporters into the Liverpool end.
The original postponement was for 15 minutes, although an additional 15 was later added, as UEFA initially blamed the late arrival of Liverpool fans for the delay.
Una pantalla gigante, el hipnótico sonido del vallenato y un grito constante: "¡Lucho, Lucho, Lucho!". Barrancas, el pueblo natal de Luis Díaz, está completamente revolucionado con la presencia de su hijo ilustre en la final de la Champions League entre Liverpool y Real Madrid.
Familiares, amigos, conocidos y vecinos del pequeño municipio de 38 mil habitantes llenaron un gimnasio local, vestidos con camisetas de los Reds, esperando que Díaz se convierta en el héroe de la jornada.
Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp dedicated Saturday's Champions League final against Real Madrid in Paris to the people of Ukraine, expressing support for the country against Russia's invasion.
The game, a rematch of the 2018 final, had been scheduled for St Petersburg's Gazprom Arena but was shifted to the Stade de France after Russia's Feb. 24 invasion of its neighbor.
"I am happy that the game is here for thousands of reasons," Klopp told reporters. The war is still going on and we have to think about that."

Four years ago, Gareth Bale scored a sensational bicycle kick to win his team a Champions League title under the lights of the NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium in Kyiv, Ukraine. That sentence is as impossible as ever in 2022. Perhaps it’s worth looking back at the players who took part in the 2018 UEFA Champions League final and see where they are now.
GK — Loris Karius
Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde might have had one of the wildest quotes from an athlete when he was asked about what winning the Champions League against Liverpool on Saturday would mean to him. This Valverde wife quote is an all-timer.
“It’s a unique trophy for any player in the world. I’m willing to sacrifice many things,” Valverde said to Spanish news outlet AS. “Except my son… but maybe even my wife.”
