The Reds had headed into the big match hoping to clinch a seventh European Cup, but instead, had to watch Los Blancos land a record-extending 14th European crown.The result means that Liverpool have been bested by Real Madrid in the Champions League final twice in four years after the Spanish giants also came out on top in the 2018 final - something that the Reds were keen to avenge.No-one was more determined to avenge that previous defeat than Salah, who was forced off with an injury in Kyiv.
