Two finals against Real Madrid, two lost finals. As in 2018, Jürgen Klopp and his Liverpool could not snatch the throne from the boss of the Champions League, a rival who does not mind being outdone in almost all facets because when it comes down to it they always win. There are already 14 that the white club accumulates after triumphing in Paris.
The coach reaches his third final in five seasons with this, but it happens that of four European finals he has only won one, because he also fell in the 2016 Europa League against Sevilla.

Real Madrid will celebrate this Sunday the conquest of the fourteenth European Cup in its history, after the 1-0 against Liverpool in Paris, with a party through the streets of the capital, passing through the Almudena and the headquarters of the Community of Madrid and the City Hall, before going to Cibeles and the Santiago Bernabéu.
Carlo Ancelotti’s team extended the Whites’ record and the streak of eight finals in a row won in the highest continental competition. Vinicius’s goal earned the fourteenth Champions League for a Madrid that will have its traditional celebration at home.
Carlo Ancelotti, coach of Real Madrid, acknowledged that despite being “very optimistic” in life, “I did not think” that he could win three titles on his return to the Madrid bench and become the most successful coach in the Champions League with the conquest of the fourteenth. “It has been an incredible season, nobody expected it, not even I, who am very optimistic, thought that we could have this success by winning three competitions.

The domain is absolute. Insulting. boundless. Like doing the laundry on a Saturday morning, for Madrid to win the Champions League has become routine. Against Liverpool, once again, they won number 14. No one comes close to the whites in a completely subdued record. The next one that has won the most is Milan with seven wounds, half that of the kings of the competition.

In addition, there are already 17 finals played by the whites, also leaders in this statistics. But what is most striking is that they have only lost three, like Barça, but less than, for example, Liverpool (4) or Bayern Munich (5).

Fourteen ‘Orejonas’ already, double that of his pursuer, still Milan, and nine players from his current squad already with five, the same as Cristiano Ronaldo, and less ‘Mr. Champions’, an honor that now passes to Carlo Ancelotti, a record for coaches with four. A premiere for Courtois, hero of the Parisian night, like last February, and vital with his saves when the six-time champion pushed harder, although he will have to share that honor with Vinicius Jr, scorer of the winning goal.
The ‘King of Europe’ applied his condition to the applicant and once again made it clear that, beyond Super League projects, his story expands on the European Cup, the old or the newest. Last week he was somewhat upset with the failed signing of Kylian Mbappé, but from the forward’s city he surely took a better prize.
Real Madrid will celebrate this Sunday with its fans the fourteenth European Cup in Plaza de Cibeles at 8:15 p.m., after offering the title in the Almudena Cathedral, the Community of Madrid and the city council, before end the party at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium.

This Champions League was painted for Real Madrid by miracle. The whites consummated it by beating Liverpool at the Stade de France in a match that had Courtois as its great hero, who with his saves sustained Madrid long enough to wait for Vinícius to appear to score the winning goal and give the Madrid the fourteenth orejona and enlarge even more its legend in its fetish competition.
This time Madrid did not need a miracle like against PSG, Chelsea at the Bernabeu or Manchester City. It is true that Liverpool had more weight in the game and better chances, but they were unable to counter Madrid’s trade, a master of playing their tricks to the limit and squeezing their skills. On an emotional level, no one handles himself like this Madrid.
