That was the right decision. He was late and he caught Federico Valverde.

Greg Morter: Easy as you like for Real Madrid.
Bill: Half an hour to go, and so here begins the theatrics... we all know how the rest of this game goes now.
Steve: Arnold may be great at many things but his defending is not so hot. He was asleep for that goal.
Liverpool 0-1 Real Madrid
Liverpool midfielder Fabinho is booked for catching Federico Valverde with a late tackle.
Liverpool 0-1 Real Madrid
We wondered if Real Madrid would make Liverpool pay for those missed chances. It is 14-3 on shots, 5-2 on efforts on target.
Liverpool 0-1 Real Madrid
Glenn Hoddle on BT Sport: "Real Madrid have come out with real confidence in this half. Liverpool have to keep their heads, they have plenty of time."
Liverpool 0-1 Real Madrid
Vinicius Jr is the first player born in the 2000s to score in a Champions League final.

Trent Alexander-Arnold goes to sleep. He does not realise that Vinicius Jr was in behind him.
Liverpool 0-1 Real Madrid
It could well have been a shot by Federico Valverde in the first place. It was a slightly unusual ball to play, hit with such power.

I think it was a shot that. Vinicius Jr, was at the back post doing what good forwards do.
Trent Alexander-Arnold just switches off.
Vinicius Jr
We have lift-off!
Federico Valverde gets the ball on the right, runs forward and then blasts a low ball across the box.
Vinicius Jr ghosts in behind Trent Alexander-Arnold and slots into an empty net from close range.
Real Madrid lead the Champions League final.
Liverpool 0-0 Real Madrid

it didn't look a handball to me. No penalty was the correct decision.
Liverpool 0-0 Real Madrid
Liverpool shout for a penalty.
Trent Alexander-Arnold finds Mohamed Salah in the box. He shoots, it hits a defender, he shoots again, it hits a defender.
The second one hits David Alaba's arm but it was down by his side so no handball.
Liverpool 0-0 Real Madrid
Fabinho has completed all 50 passes he has attempted in this game.

George: This game feels primed for an iconic Bale contribution. Written in the stars?
Dave: In amongst all the offside, Alisson's input has gone under the radar, he's quietly having a bit of a mare - there was a ridiculous wander out of his area earlier in the half. Looks unusually nervous. He's lucky so far that Madrid have barely been in the Liverpool half
Liverpool 0-0 Real Madrid

That is ridiculous because Militao was playing a game of rugby there. The first foul was from Militao and the free-kick goes the other way.
Liverpool 0-0 Real Madrid
Seen a replay. Eder Militao and Luis Diaz were in a tussle but there was no foul.
Liverpool 0-0 Real Madrid
Real defender Eder Militao goes down holding his face. What's happened here?
Liverpool 0-0 Real Madrid
Real keeper Thibaut Courtois hasn't been as busy in this half yet - but does well to palm away Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross into Thiago.

Alex: Diaz looks off the pace this game. People drool over him just because he looks flashy (just like Foden). Firmino a better team player, more reliable, and better finisher. Methinks you may end up ruing your commitment to youth, Jurgen!
Liverpool 0-0 Real Madrid
Luis Diaz runs down the left and finds Sadio Mane, whose shot is blocked. Trent Alexander-Arnold has a crack, also blocked. Good defending.
