Twitter goes bonkers as Real Madrid beat Liverpool in the UCL finals

The crown of Europe returns to Real Madrid after the Los Blancos snubbed past the Merseysiders to clinch their record-extending 14th title. It was an early 2nd half brace from Vinícius Júnior that provided the Spanish giants the much-needed lead in the tightly contested clash. Liverpool’s countless attempts of a scathing attack could not breach Courtois’s alcazar in Saint-Denis on Sunday. Another heartbreak for Liverpool after failing to claim the English glory definitely brings a sad end to a dream run.

“In the dressing room, nobody feels it was a great season at the moment,”

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp stated.

After a roller-coaster ride this season, it all ended well for the Madridistas as Twitter erupted rejoicing the stellar triumph for Ancelotti’s men. The Real Madrid coach is now the most successful manager in UCL history with 4 trophies to his name.

“I cannot believe I’ve won four Champions Leagues! It was a difficult game, we suffered in the first half but in the end with all the games we played I think we deserved to win this competition. We’ve achieved something that nobody expected of us at the start of the season, and we’ve done that thanks to our quality, our commitment, our history, everything. We’re very happy.”
