Trent Alexander-Arnold, who may feel the need to make amends for that goal, hammers a shot miles wide from 25 yards.

Sixteen minutes to go for Liverpool to find a goal.

Otherwise it's just the Carabao Cup and FA Cup this season.

Frustration and disappointment on the faces of Liverpool fans watching back home.

It does feel like that's been their midfield three for a decade now.

The midfield three of Real Madrid, Modric, Kroos and Casemiro are as street-wise as they come at dictating the tempo of the game.

Well done Ibrahima Konate. Vinicius Jr runs down the left, a nice stepover or two in the mix, and just as he's about to reach the box, Konate slides in to stop him.

Real Madrid have won their last 14 Champions League matches in which they were leading at some point, since a 2-1 home loss against Manchester City in the last 16 in 2019-20.

Courtois has been brilliant tonight. He has been bright, alert and first to everything like he was there.

Richard T: Game over! RM do not surrender a lead in the final, period! Liverpool had to score first but couldn't.

Greg Morter: Luis Diaz hasn't been as lively tonight as I've been impressed by him since he joined Liverpool.

Ar Vind: The whole world knew Trent was the weak link against Vinicius. How did Liverpool not address that. Can’t see a comeback against a tactically astute Real Madrid

Build a statue of Thibaut Courtois outside the Bernabeu. He somehow gets across his goal to keep out Mohamed Salah's effort at the back post. Remarkable goalkeeping.

Liverpool get another corner which David Alaba hacks away.

Eder Militao throws himself down trying to buy a free-kick but the referee gives a corner to Liverpool.

Dani Carvajal heads it away though.

The team that scored the opening goal went on to lift the trophy in each of the last seven Champions League finals, since Real Madrid came back to beat Atletico Madrid in 2014.

Tom Shepherd: Wow that goal is going to play right into the “Trent can’t defend” narrative.

Willem Mevius: Typical Real: at the end Liverpool will be left wondering how they could have lost this match.

Paul: Didn’t Salah say they had a score to settle? He’s contributed next to nothing in this game. Mane hasn’t done all that much either apart from the 1 shot that courtois saved

Andy Robertson's free-kick is headed away. Liverpool come back but Eder Militao heads away Sadio Mane's cross.

Liverpool make their first change as Diogo Jota replaces Luis Diaz up front. Can the ex-Wolves man make himself a Reds hero?

Liverpool's best chance since falling behind. Mohamed Salah drifts in from the right wing and curls a shot towards the far corner but it's saved by the diving Thibaut Courtois.

Liverpool just need to regroup a bit. They have not quite recovered after conceding that goal.

Vinicius Jr just stole in totally unmarked there. Trent Alexander-Arnold simply didn't get near him. A few Liverpool players wanted a VAR check when it was replayed on the big screeen but nothing doing.
