Chris: Is that 5 ex-Southampton players on the field now? Just saying....

Jim: The one ex-Southampton player on the pitch who isn't playing for Liverpool. WOW

Liverpool want a penalty as Roberto Firmino's shot hits Casemiro's elbow. But there was nothing his fellow Brazilian could do - totally accidental.

Gareth Bale is the third British player to score in different European Cup finals, the first since Phil Neal (1977 and 1984).

Liverpool don't have any real game changers on the bench - no offence to Dominic Solanke - but they are still creating chances.

At the other end, Virgil van Dijk does well to put Cristiano Ronaldo off with a sliding tackle.

Sadio Mane has been excellent, popping up on the left and the right.

If anyone is going to get them back in the game it is going to be him.

Coogs: Best goal ever scored, so far

Ebenezer: Gareth Bale's strike. The kind of goal you give standing ovation to

Deldude: OH My God . One of the best goals ever. Like coach like player. Outrageous goal of the season winner. All hail Gareth Bale

Liverpool are almost level in an absolutely brilliant Champions League final. Sadio Mane shots from 22 yards out and it's deflected onto the post. So close.

A chance for Liverpool and Real captain Sergio Ramos has hurt himself to deny them. Andy Robertson plays a defence-splitting pass to Sadio Mane - but Ramos stretches to turn the ball over.

Liverpool's villain of the day is OK to continue though.

I'm genuinely struggling to think of a better European Cup final goal ever. I think it's better than Zinedine Zidane's.

I'm sure there will be a lot of debate around it in the coming days.

What an impact Gareth Bale has made for Real Madrid since coming on.

Surely it will be full 10 for the Welshman after that stunning overhead kick?

Head here to rate the two sets of players

That was Gareth Bale's fourth touch after coming off the bench!

You don't see many better. What an occasion to do it. He's had about four touches, what a goal. You think there's no danger when the ball comes in, next thing, he is in the air.

At half-time this game was disappointing, but that is just unreal. That's on a par with Cristiano Ronaldo's effort against Juventus - but in a final at 1-1.

Sadio Mane is only the fourth African player to score in a European Cup final after Rabah Madjer, Samuel Eto'o and Didier Drogba.

Egyptian football journalist Marwan Ahmed has just been telling the BBC World Service’s Sportsworld programme about the reaction to Mohamed Salah’s injury in Egypt:

“Honestly, I think it’s a nightmare. There are no words to describe it. There was a minute of silence after we’d seen Salah go down and then when he went down the second time, we knew it wasn’t good and that he would leave the pitch.

"No Egyptian wanted to see that happen, we’ve never had an Egyptian in the Champions League final. It’s really sad – I can’t find the exact words to describe it. Some people were in tears."

It's Gareth Bale O'Clock. The three-time European champion comes on for Isco, who hit the crossbar but didn't play particularly well tonight.

Chance for Real as Isco shoots - the ball was going wide anyway but Loris Karius couldn't take that risk. Or any risk. And it's a corner, which is cleared.

Gareth Bale is warming up.
