Match Report
Mohamed Salah put last season's final heartbreak behind him by setting up a 2-0 win over Tottenham in Madrid and a sixth Champions League triumph for Liverpool.
Egypt star Salah was infamously injured in a challenge with Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos before the Reds subsided to a 3-1 defeat in Kiev 12 months ago but grabbed the opener in a largely forgettable contest at the Wanda Metropolitano.
The Premier League Golden Boot winner dispatched a second-minute penalty after Moussa Sissoko was penalised for handball.
Liverpool and their Premier League counterparts played in fits and starts thereafter, with Spurs enjoying their most consistent spell of pressure before substitute Divock Origi added to his semi-final brace against Barcelona by drilling clinically into the bottom-right corner three minutes from time.
Goals/Highlights
Goal! Divok Origi! The Belgian finds the bottom corner! Liverpool have surely won the Champions League!
Chance! Alisson Becker pulls off a world-class save to deny Christian Eriksen!
Chance! Tottenham are desperate for a goal! Son smashes from range which is pushed away, Lucas fails to connect with the second chance from close range!
Chance! A deft chip from Dele Alli is gathered by Alisson!
Chance! It's taken a while, but Liverpool creates the first opportunity of the second half. Substitute James Milner slices a shot just wide!
Second Half
Only one real highlight from the first half *That* penalty! Will the second half spring into life?
Half-time! Liverpool have a 1-0 lead thanks to an early Mohamed Salah penalty! Arsene Wenger believes that Kane doesn't look ready. What do you think?
Analysis on another level! 🙌

More insight from Mourinho! Being sneaky with his team selections!
"Are they coming with these scheme that the UEFA teamsheet presents? I have to confess, many times I did it wrong for the UEFA sheet. Sometimes you don't give exactly the real positions of your players!"

Amazingly! Mourinho & Wenger seem to be agreeing on something this evening! The special one things that Spurs will be put under pressure defensively by Liverpool, along with a great insight on Lucas, who is benched tonight!
"Lucas is a difficult decision as a manager. Without Lucas, Tottenham are not in the final, but now in the final Lucas is on the bench. I think Pochetino must have had many conversations with his pillow before making this decision."
"Listening to Mr Wenger's comments, I agree totally with what he was saying. My opinion is his opinion"

Now for Liverpool! As expected Roberto Firmino has recovered in time to start! That means Divok Origi has to settle for a place on the bench! Otherwise it's an expected team from the Reds!
