KIEV: Gareth Bale got here off the bench to score two times, including one of the vital all-time great objectives in a Champions League ultimate, as Real Madrid beat Liverpool 3-1 in Kiev on Saturday to take the trophy for the 3rd yr running.
Bale's jaw-dropping overhead kick within the 64th minute put Real 2-1 up moments after his advent, following a dramatic start to the second half through which Karim Benzema gave Real the lead on account of a Loris Karius howler.
Sadio Mane had briefly restored parity, however Bale put Real in front once more after which sealed the triumph past due on with a long-range strike that the unlucky Karius may just most effective punch into the online.
Jurgen Klopp's and Liverpool's own night used to be marred by way of the lack of a distraught Mohamed Salah to damage within the first half, the Egyptian coming off half an hour in having damaged his shoulder.
This used to be to not be Salah's night, with Real allowing Zinedine Zidane to grow to be the first coach ever to win the Champions League 3 years in a row.
"With a team like this we can go far, but to win three of them, it's something crazy," Zidane mentioned.
Madrid are the first group to reach that feat since Bayern Munich in 1976. This is their fourth name in 5 years, and their 13th general.
Cristiano Ronaldo has now won 5 in his great occupation, despite the fact that he later cast a cloud over the night by way of hinting that he may just quickly depart the club, pronouncing: "It was very nice to be at Real Madrid."
However, it used to be Bale's night, and when requested if it used to be the most efficient function he had ever scored, he mentioned: "I'd have to say it is, on the biggest stage in world football to score a goal like that is a dream come true."
But Bale has now not been a normal within the Real group this season and he admitted he will now consider his long run within the weeks forward.
"I feel I should be playing every week and if that's not the case here it's something I need to consider. We will sit down in the summer and try to resolve things."
The Welshman were tipped to function within the starting line-up however used to be neglected for Isco -- simply as he were within the ultimate in opposition to Juventus final yr -- sooner than making an emphatic have an effect on instead.
For Liverpool, the game might be remembered for the crisis that befell goalkeeper Karius in the second half, and for Salah's tears as he departed the pitch on the NSC Olympiyskyi.
The Egyptian harm his left shoulder as he went down in a challenge with Sergio Ramos within the 25th minute.
Five mins later he made way for Adam Lallana, and his presence on the World Cup is now unsure.
"We wanted everything and got nothing. We lost an important player and probably Egypt lost for the World Cup an important player," Klopp mentioned.
Salah's damage, and that which pressured Real's Dani Carvajal off sooner than the smash, temporarily took the edge out of the game after an enthralling start, with Liverpool on best.
After Salah departed, Real sensed their chance. They even had the ball within the net within the 43rd minute, most effective to be denied by way of a marginal offside call.
Ronaldo's header from Isco's pass used to be parried by way of Karius, and Benzema grew to become within the loose ball, but the flag lower quick his celebrations.
If that used to be a let-off for Liverpool, they had been their very own worst enemies firstly of the second half.
Isco struck the bar after Lallana diverted the ball into his trail, sooner than Benzema opened the scoring within the 51st minute.
It used to be a second of implausible carelessness from Karius, who attempted to roll the ball out to the closest pink blouse only for Benzema to stay out a leg and ship it trickling into the online.
Klopp's facet in point of fact will have let their heads drop, and yet they had been quickly again stage, Mane turning the ball in after Dejan Lovren headed down James Milner's nook.
But their renewed hope used to be beaten upon the advent of Bale.
The Welshman were on the field slightly two mins when he met Marcelo's pass from the left with an incredible leap, again to function, 15 yards out, to ship an overhead kick on his left foot arcing over Karius and in.
Such a strike deserved to be the winner, despite the fact that it used to be his long-range shot that beat the embarrassed Karius within the 83rd minute that made sure of the victory.
Mane hit the submit for Liverpool in between Bale's strikes, however they're going to have to wait a while yet sooner than winning their sixth European Cup.
