  • 95'
    With Liverpool celebrating with their fans, it's time to sign off. Thanks a lot for your company and from the Wanda, it's goodbye and congratulations to Liverpool!
  • 95'
    Celebrations in the red side of the stadium and it is their first Champions League for 14 years after last season's disappointment. You have to say it would have been unfair to end the season trophyless after the season they have had, but Spurs came so close.

    FT: Tottenham 0-2 Liverpool! Liverpool are Champions!!!! It's all over at the Wanda. Liverpool are delighted, Kane is staring into space and in tears. Son can't believe it either. The game was very, very even, but a highly debatable penalty call and an Origi strike made the difference. The Spurs strikers were not in top form and I have to say that I think Pochettino's changes came very late.
  • 95'
    Salah gets the ball in possibly an offside position, he then gives it to Origi who cannot give him a good return ball. That was poor by Liverpool.
  • 94'
    Dier sends a ball in which is no good.
  • 93'
    Kane has a powerful effort on goal now. it is straight at the keeper though.
  • 93'
    Good save by Alisson to deny Son! The Korean has picked up in the last 10 minutes.
  • 92'
    Rose shoots at Alisson, but easy for the Brazilian.
  • 91'
    Kane goes down wanting a penalty, but Skomina isn't interested. Not for me. Matip did nothing wrong.
  • 90'
    Five extra minutes.
  • 89'
    Liverpool sub: Gomez on for Mane.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Liverpool en el 87'
  • 87'
    Origi scores! Milner puts the ball in, it is half cleared, Van Dijk sees an effort blocked, There is a bit of head tennis by Spurs, Vertonghen may commit handball and then Matip passes to Origi who hits a shot across the goalie into his bottom left hand corner. Game, set and match.
  • 86'
    Liverpool have a corner now. Spurs looking dangerous going forward, but they may run out of time. Alderweireld is off getting treatment.
  • 85'
    The corner is flicked on and Son heads it over from point blank range. He is flagged offside.
  • 84'
    Eriksen goes for goal... and Alisson makes a superb save to his left! Corner.
  • 83'
    Rose is fouled and it looks inside, but the ref gives it out! VAR will look, Actually, Milner's foul on Rose is outside. Good call.

  • 82'
    Spurs sub: Llorente finally comes on!!!! Alli off. Far too late. They do it just before they defend a corner, but the set piece comes to nothing.
  • 81'
    Son has another go a second later. His shot, however, is completely scuffed.
  • 80'
    Double chance for Spurs! Son tries from 30 yards out, it was batted away and then Rose passed it to Moura who was denied by Alisson. Good play.
  • 79'
    Shots: 8-11, on target: 1-2.
  • 79'
    Dele Alli heads over the bar from Trippier's cross. He was just outside the 6.
  • 76'
    Kane sees an effort blocked and then Son is penalised for a questionable handball.
  • 75'
    Liverpool attack and then on the break, Son makes a brilliant run and is bearing down on goal before Van Dijk stops him in his tracks. Great defence!

  • 74'
    Spurs sub: Dier replaces Sissoko.
  • 73'
    Spurs go on the attack, Son backheels to Kane who plays him back in, the Korean then gives it to Alli. Alli tries a chip shot to beat Alisson which is massively underhit.
  • 72'
    Sissoko is in trouble here. He needs to be changed.
  • 70'
    Moura cross goes to Alisson. As everyone is getting back, Salah is played in down the far side with oceans of space by the GK, he cross finds Mane who is very nearly brought down inside the box.
  • 70'
    Tottenham want a handball!!! Looked rather ambitious, but worth a shout I suppose! Was totally accidental.
  • 69'
    Milner nearly makes it two! Mane starts it, he beats Eriksen with ease, he then gives it to Salah inside the box. The Egyptian, with his back to goal, then feeds Milner who shoots wide.
  • 66'
    Alexander-Arnold sends in a cross which Alderweireld has to knock for a corner. What a game the Liverpool man has had.
  • 65'
    Spurs sub: Moura comes on!!! Finally, but maybe a bit too late. Winks makes way. He should have come on at HT really and why Llorente is not on the pitch is beyond me.
  • 64'
    Salah wants a foul, but he doesn't get his wish.
  • 63'
    63% possession for Spurs, but Liverpool are not really being threatened. They actually look fairly dangerous although they don't seem in a mood to score a second.

  • 62'
    Liverpool sub: Wijnaldum off, Milner on.
  • 61'
    Pochettino is sitting on the bench when he should really be making some subs. Liverpool are going to bring on Milner.
  • 59'
    By the way, why is Llorente not on the pitch? He made so much difference in the second half at Ajax in the semis. And how about Lucas Moura? They are both just warming the bench. Kane has hardly been in the game. May not be fully fit.

  • 58'
    Liverpool sub: Origi on for Firmino.
  • 58'
    Rose's corner is headed over by Vertonghen.
  • 57'
    Son tries to get past Robertson with a load of stepovers, but the defender is unfazed and it will be a corner.
  • 55'
    Rose is brought down on the edge of the box, Skomina plays a kind of advantage which is next to none and Spurs lose the ball.
  • 54'
    Salah is played in again and Vertonghen is Spurs' saviour and then Lloris gets there before Mane can get on the end of a pass. Open match this.
  • 53'
    Alexander-Arnold launches another fabulous cross into the area for Salah! The Egyptian can't reach it though.

  • 45'
    Welcome back everybody! The second half is about to start here. No changes.
  • 45'
    HT: Tottenham 0-1 Liverpool! Half-time here in Madrid. Salah put Liverpool in front with two minutes on the clock after Sissoko was very harshly punished for a handball. Since then, Spurs have had more possession and territory, but they have come up against a solid Liverpool defence. Liverpool have looked to be more direct and they have actually looked more dangerous. Join us shortly for the second period!
  • 45'
    Matip clears another cross from the far side. The Liverpool defence is looking very solid.
  • 45'
    Son gives it to Eriksen, but his effort is wayward, The Londoners are struggling to convert in the final third.
  • 45'
    Fourth official says two added minutes.
  • 44'
    Alli looks to team up with Son, but there is a lack of communication and the ball rolls through to Alisson.
  • 43'
    Robertson and Alexander-Arnold have had a great game so far. And Salah is so far being decisive in the final. Remember last year he was forced off through injury.
  • 42'
    Salah hits it from outside the box, it is deflected and Klopp's men have a corner.
  • 41'
    Alexander-Arnold gets a corner after his ball in is deflected off Rose.
  • 40'
    The players have taken advantage of the stoppage to take on some fluids.
  • 39'
    Salah has a pop from the corner, but it is off target. Vertonghen seems to have hurt his left elbow in thart set piece.
  • 38'
    Liverpool pass it out from the back and then Robertson goes on a run from his own half before forcing Lloris to tip his 25 yard strike over the bar.
  • 36'
    65% possession for Spurs so far, but less shots than the Reds. 1 by Spurs to 4 of Liverpool.

  • 31'
    Liverpool have had the upper hand in the last five minutes after Spurs' initial push once they fell behind.
  • 30'
    Alexander-Arnold puts the ball in for his teammates, but they aren't on the same page and it goes for a goal kick.
  • 29'
    Trippier is penalised for fouling Mane. Liverpool have it 30 yards from goal.
  • 28'
    Long ball sent for Son and he receives it, but the Korean is offside.
  • 25'
    Robertson catches Trippier in the face and is lucky not to be booked. Pochettino isn't happy with the ref.
  • 24'
    Mane wins a corner off Trippier.
  • 23'
    What a cross by Robertson! Robertson puts in a fabulous cross for Salah to head in at the far stick, but Rose gets there first to take it away from him.
  • 22'
    Salah holds off Vertonghen, turns and then scuffs his shot well wide.
  • 21'
    Corner to Liverpool and Lloris comes out and punches away!
  • 19'
    Great defence by Alexander-Arnold! Great pass put in for Son who finds space 30 yards from goal, but Alexander-Arnold is there to end the move.
  • 18'
    A fan has run onto the pitch and the game has been held up! Didn't have much clothing on and her night's entertainment has come to a premature end.
  • 17'
    What a strike by Alexander-Arnold! Henderson feeds Alexander-Arnold to his right and the ball goes past Lloris' right hand post.
  • 15'
    Tottenham are picking up now after that early setback. Liverpool are trying to play more direct while Tottenham are trying to work moves.

  • 13'
    Spurs look to catch Liverpool out taking a quick free-kick, but the defence are alert.

  • 11'
    Alexander-Arnold's set piece comes to nothing.
  • 10'
    Trippier concedes a corner after a long ball is played perfectly for Mane.
  • 9'
    Eriksen gives the ball to Son inside the area, he can't find a way through and then Sissoko fires over from 25 yards out. The game is very open since the penalty.
  • 6'
    Liverpool go on the attack, but the Spurs defence clear well away from their own goal and then Tottenham try to attack down the far side, but Alexander-Arnold knocks it out for a throw after Alli had the ball.
  • 5'
    Corner for Spurs! It is cleared away by the Liverpool defence.
  • 4'
    Liverpool have got off to the best possible start and Spurs the worst possible one, but Spurs have a right to feel a sense of injustice.
Penalty scored
Goaaaaal from a penalty!

  • 2'
    Salah scores! What a penalty, but you have to say that was never ever a penalty. It hit his chest first and then went onto his arm. He was so close... It went down the middle.
  • 1'
    VAR confirms it.
  • 1'
    Penalty to Liverpool for handball after 24 seconds! Mane hits it at Sissoko from close range and his arm is out, but it touches his chest first and then goes onto his arm. Not a pen for me.

    It is worth remembering that both teams have had basically three weeks rest prior to this game. The last day of the PL season was on May 13th. Tottenham drew 2-2 v Everton and Liverpool defeated Wolves 2-0, but it was not enough to get the Premier League title.
  • PRVW

    There will be a minute's silence held before tonight's game as the result of the fatal car accident which claimed the life of ex-Arsenal and Sevilla player, Jose Antonio Reyes, earlier today. He was just 35 and he was returning home after a training session with his club Extremadura in Segunda.
  • PRVW
    This was the Liverpool team arriving.
  • PRVW
    Just over an hour till kick-off. Who do you think will win? I think Liverpool will just edge this.
  • PRVW
    It's been lovely and sunny in the last few days here in Madrid. We may see a drinks break in each half here tonight. It is currently 32 degrees in the Spanish capital.
