Gareth Bale came in as a substitute and scored a fabulous bike kick on the greatest stage as Real Madrid beat Liverpool 3-1 to win their third progressive Champions League title. Jurgen Klopp’s side, who lost Mohamed Salah in the first half with a speculated disjoined shoulder and after that saw Loris Karius bless Karim Benzema with the opener (51) had quickly revived in Kiev through Sadio Mane (55).
Yet, after misery and disgrace, Bale conveyed a minute befitting of the show-stopper, his 64th-minute overhead kick fixing a thirteenth European Cup for the Spanish giants, and their fourth in five seasons.
