00:00...experienced team for nights like this.
00:02Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 15 goals in the Champions League this season.
00:14The referee tonight is Milorad Masic of Serbia, his first Champions League game since the group stage.
00:20And what a night for the captain, Sergio Ramos, who's won it three times with Real Madrid.
00:24And Jordan Henderson, who becomes Liverpool's sixth captain in the final of this competition.
00:34There are no surprises for Liverpool tonight.
00:37It's the team that started the second leg in the semi-final in Rome.
00:40Spare a thought, though, for Oxlade, Chamberlain, Gomez and Matip, who miss out through injury.
00:45The likes of Karius, Alexander-Arnold and Robertson all start tonight, having progressed so much during the season.
00:51The front three need to be at their very best tonight.
00:53Emre Can and Adam Lallana are back on the Liverpool bench.
01:02It's a competition that's been all about goals this season.
01:0544 apiece for Cristiano Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah.
01:10Ronaldo bidding to become the first player to score in four Champions League finals tonight.
01:15Salah needing one more big performance for Liverpool.
01:18The score just set.
01:25284 days since Liverpool started their journey to Kiev in the German town of Hoffenheim.
01:30Tonight they stand toe-to-toe with Real Madrid for the greatest prize in club football.
01:35Liverpool bidding for number six.
01:37Real for number 13.
01:39Real for number 13.
01:39So the 2018 Champions League final is underway.
02:03The traditional home colours for the two teams tonight.
02:07All of the experience in white.
02:09Oxlade.
02:10Yeah, what a night it is.
02:11Doesn't get any bigger, better than this.
02:14Liverpool style, Mason Bright with the hands of cross.
02:17To put on Sadio Mane.
02:19Special evening, isn't it?
02:20They're all involved.
02:21You'll never forget this night.
02:26Cristiano Ronaldo dumped for the first.
02:29Zemar.
02:29Gareth Bale on the Real Madrid bench and we'll find out whether he has a part to play.
02:34Great game.
02:37With Cristiano Ronaldo.
02:38Now Modric.
02:46Danny Carvajal.
02:48And then Isco is looking to get in there.
02:49The flag in fact had gone up against the Spanish international.
02:53And Loris Carrius.
02:54Big night.
02:54Leeson's gone on.
02:55Ronaldo's lost it.
02:59Now Salah with a nibble at most.
03:00Salah and that's a free kick to Liverpool.
03:05Yeah, it was.
03:06It was a foul.
03:08He started the game well.
03:09Mo Salah's touch is nice.
03:12The Liverpool fans generating a tremendous atmosphere in here already.
03:17It's Salah.
03:18And it's so quickly onto that.
03:20That was Luka Modric.
03:21He was alive.
03:21Berto Firmino.
03:23It's a lovely ball through towards Sadio Mane.
03:26Navas had started to get.
03:30It's Mo Salah.
03:31Into all Roberto Firmino.
03:33And Alexander Arna was running in.
03:36It was a lot of goalkeeping in there.
03:37By Keylor Navas who I think has been given the free kick here by the referee.
03:40He was out quick, wasn't he?
03:44Nice and sharp, Keylor Navas.
03:46Again, good movement again.
03:47A bit of fortune off Sergio Ramos.
03:51But...
03:52Went by Robertson towards Firmino.
03:56Who was attacking the near post there for Liverpool.
04:03You couldn't ask for a better start.
04:07There's Marcelo.
04:08A lovely turn to get away from Milder.
04:13That's one of the fascinating aspects tonight, isn't it?
04:16How much Marcelo will go forward knowing that he's got Mo Salah behind him.
04:20Well, that's the key.
04:23That's the key.
04:24I think Liverpool won him by Robertson.
04:28Samiru didn't get a hold of it.
04:29Milner with a shot.
04:31Mane.
04:32Now Mo Salah.
04:34Mane.
04:34And then the chance may be here for Firmino.
04:39Excellent defending in there by Dani Carvajal.
04:41Liverpool can keep the pressure up though with Milner.
04:44Excellent ball to Alexander-Arnold.
04:46And then Keylor Navas.
04:48Given away to Dani Carvajal who's got Ronaldo on that side with him.
04:54Danger here for Liverpool.
04:55Ronaldo!
04:56Despite the fact it was a ridiculously tight angle,
04:59he still had the confidence to go for goal.
05:01But it might not have been the right decision by Cristiano Ronaldo.
05:04There's nothing wrong with his confidence flex, but he should have passed it.
05:08Giving the ball away Liverpool.
05:14It's a ball and a half that, isn't it?
05:15That wasn't it by Dani Carvajal.
05:18Can't think for a minute what was in his mind there.
05:20I have no idea.
05:23Must just be nerves.
05:25Rafa Varans there, he sees, I think he was trying to hit save.
05:29Keylor Navas didn't quite get there.
05:33Virgil van Dijk was running in.
05:35I don't know whether the refs give a foul, but it didn't look like, did it?
05:38No.
05:39It's a good idea.
05:40Liverpool put bodies on Navas.
05:42I always feel he's poor at crosses.
05:44Picked up the injury in the qualifying stages of this competition.
05:49Milner with a chance to try and pick someone out.
05:51Here's Roberto Firmino.
05:54And then Alexander-Arnold and Navas was down.
05:58The initial blocking there was from Sergio Ramos.
06:01Alexander-Arnold caught that really sweetly.
06:03Yeah, brilliant play by Liverpool.
06:05He's onside, pulls it back to Firmino.
06:07Turns well enough, as you said.
06:09Sergio Ramos is there, blocking, and then he's out again quick.
06:12It's a slight touch on that, but right at Keylor Navas.
06:16Madrid have it with a diamond.
06:18Look at the left-hand side.
06:18Robinson's all on his own.
06:20If they can change it out to him,
06:22they can get down that left-hand side every single time.
06:25Salas stayed down here after the challenge by Sergio Ramos.
06:28The Real Madrid captain landed awkwardly on the Egyptian.
06:31It seems to be his left shoulder, doesn't it?
06:38I think he just felt the weight of Ramos on him after the challenge.
06:42It was good defending initially by Ramos.
06:44Yeah, yeah, it just goes over.
06:50It's there, it's not on his left shoulder.
06:51There, Ben.
06:53It looked nasty, didn't it?
06:54It's a massive concern, this, for Liverpool.
07:01It's been such an important part in everything they've done this season.
07:09Mo Salah, 44 goals.
07:13And Sadio Marner.
07:16It's got Varane and Carvajal across there.
07:19It's going to be a corner.
07:21He did really well, actually.
07:22If he's not going to get anything,
07:23he looked into the box, you could see.
07:24And it wasn't much there.
07:27So he did well, he played.
07:28He played.
07:31Well, this is potentially heartbreaking for Mo Salah.
07:35And it's a real problem for Liverpool.
07:40You can see there that he feels in his own mind, Steve, he can't carry on.
07:43Yeah, that's what it certainly looks like, doesn't it, now?
07:46So sad.
07:47Such a big, big stage.
07:49But the fact that he's gone down and he looks visibly upset.
07:51It's a real, that he glancing away from Roberto Firmino to...
08:04Trials of the Brazil squad at the World Cup in the summer.
08:08And we see the challenge again by Ramos on Mo Salah.
08:13All his body weight going down on the shoulder joint. Yeah, really sad isn't it?
08:21Shake of the head
08:25There's a problem here as well just out of picture for Danny Carver. You don't want a fly like that coming on.
08:31No, where's Isco? Markov Asensio's real good pace as well.
08:38Isco's ball into water, Ronaldo, good save, and Benzibar!
08:42Flags up, won't count, brilliant save initially, Vicarious, it was Benzibar on the one offside.
08:48I think there's a bit of both, it's a brilliant save and he's still the scores.
08:52It's great movement from Benzibar, watch playing, goes in, makes an overload on Lovren, is just offside there, Ronaldo on the first one.
09:00Yeah, he gives it for the second one, doesn't he?
09:03Yeah, Ronaldo looked just offside. Yeah, Ronaldo looked just offside. Yeah, that's what I thought, look at Jürgen.
09:08Here's Benzibar, in towards Ronaldo and Nacho's coming in as well.
09:15Lovely ball by Benzibar again, playing well.
09:18Not the pass this was, right on the money to Nacho.
09:24Just opens his foot, opens his foot, doesn't connect with it, way wide.
09:27Salo, now Benzibar.
09:32Still Benzibar!
09:33And Loris, Karius, felt the need to go down, I think he probably got that covered, the Liverpool goalkeeper.
09:39He needs to be closed down quicker though.
09:41Henderson had to go, eventually Lovren, goes fourth.
09:44They need to get in, it's a mindset thing, have to change because they dropped back when they lost Mo Salah, they need to change that, get Mane running in behind again, see if he can do that role for them.
09:54All season really, but no, it's psychologically it's going to help Liverpool, but they've just got to maintain, go out and start pressing a little bit higher, they were dropped off a little bit too deep.
10:04So off we go in the second half, Marcelo on the ball here, his selection ahead of Gareth Bale so far, manages to get across it as well.
10:14Ronald gives it away to Sergio Ramos, here's Cristiano Ronaldo, Marcelo, for Isco, hits the bar, he can't believe it, and nor can Real Madrid.
10:27But they were opened up there, Liverpool, but they caused their own problem.
10:30There's a collection of errors, Solana there just trying to get back, and Isco should have scored, he's far cuter than that, just gets too much on it doesn't he?
10:39They're just taking it over him, gets right under the ball, actually comes up his shin Steve.
10:46Yeah, here's Isco, and then Benzema.
10:50Liverpool to, just feel that Liverpool got a little bit more intent again after this half-time day, they've come out a little bit higher pressing.
11:00Carlos sends it forward here towards Benzema, he got the option to Marcelo, and the carrier, so it's got in!
11:06Oh no!
11:07Oh my word!
11:09Cari Benzema with a goal, and Liverpool can't believe it!
11:13What a way to go behind in the Champions League final!
11:18It's Real Madrid 1, Liverpool 0, and what on earth happened there?
11:23I think he goes to throw the ball out, and it just hits him straight away, doesn't it?
11:28Benzema I think raises his foot, raises his foot.
11:31He's trying to say it's a foul, Cariis, as if he's being kicked out of his hands, he can't block him.
11:36It's not that high, is it?
11:37His foot hasn't gone really high, it's just, he's trying to roll it around, but look inside.
11:43Klopp doesn't know what's happened, he's... confused, but let's have a look.
11:48There's a nice ball by Kroos, makes a good run, he's onside Benzema.
11:53But Cariis picks it off easy enough, and as he throws it out there...
11:56He's rid him.
11:58He's rid him.
12:00You've got to say, it's a good bit of play from Klopp, look.
12:02Yeah.
12:03He reads it, look.
12:04And it's sloppy.
12:06It's clever play, you've got to say that.
12:10This is Robertson for Liverpool, who've got to get on the front foot now.
12:14Casemiro with a clearance that didn't go very far, now Sadio Marner.
12:17Here's Milner, looking to tease one in, and it was just glanced away by Varane,
12:25which just took it away from Roberto Firmino.
12:30Yeah, lovely ball by Milner, right.
12:33That touch there, it was a good touch by him, wasn't it, actually?
12:37Lovely duel in, wasn't it?
12:38Milner, first time, perfect response from Liverpool.
12:41Milner across to take the corner, and he was trying to cheer up the Liverpool fans on the way out there, Milner.
12:47Van Dijk and Lovren up from the back, and it goes towards Lovren.
12:50It gets up high in between, and it's Marner, and Liverpool are level.
12:55And this stadium in Kyiv explodes into a sea of red.
12:59The perfect response from Liverpool.
13:02Sadio Marner makes it Real Madrid 1, Liverpool 1.
13:10And that's Liverpool, using the Nausak corners.
13:13Just a nice, simple, floated corner.
13:16Not him with a lot of power, but away from the goalkeeper,
13:19and allowing Liverpool centre defenders to come charging at the ball.
13:23Lovren wins the header.
13:25Mane's there, look at this corner, just up in the air.
13:28But Lovren fancies it, I'll have that, onside.
13:31Mane, lovely touch over Navas, 1-0.
13:36That's fabulous from Mane.
13:37The ball goes over the top of him, he doesn't stand still, he's on the move.
13:41There he is, Marcelo can't move, he's standing still.
13:45And there's Klopp's reaction, fabulous reaction.
13:48And they earned the corner as well, they nearly scored from the corner from Milner's pass.
13:53Luka Modric.
13:56Ronaldo's just looking to time his run at the far post.
13:58Modric didn't release it, Nacho sends it in.
14:02Here is Isco.
14:03Not sure whether that was going wide or not, but Karius got a touch on it.
14:06Yeah, just going wide, the goalie didn't know, has to make the save.
14:14Fabulous first time.
14:15So here comes Gareth Bale, and it is going to be for Isco.
14:19And Bale who finished the season with a smashing goal in the Clasico,
14:22and five goals in his last five games.
14:25He's scored in the last three matches for Real Madrid,
14:28so they're sending on a player here who's going to be...
14:31Got Marcelo out there with him on the Real Madrid left.
14:37Now Casemiro.
14:40There is Marcelo.
14:43Three in the box waiting for the cross, and it was Bale!
14:45Oh, what about that!
14:47What about that from Gareth Bale!
14:51Off the fence, with a fabulous finish.
14:54Real Madrid two, Liverpool one, a classic Champions League final goal from Gareth Bale!
15:07Wow!
15:08First one was calamitous goal, that was absolute quality!
15:18We spoke about, or we speak about, in 2002.
15:22Ronaldo's overhead kick against Juve.
15:24We'll have some of this, folks.
15:26Oh!
15:27What a hit that is from Gareth Bale!
15:31Oh!
15:34It's an absolute beaut!
15:38Look at the height he's got off the floor, to hit that ball.
15:41It's behind him.
15:42Wasn't a particularly good cross from Marcelo.
15:44Marcelo, look at that.
15:45No keeper in the world.
15:46He's called him out completely.
15:49He's got the dip on it as well.
15:50He's managed to get over the top of it.
15:53Wonderful, wonderful goal.
15:54Look to Zidane.
15:56That's what Zizou thinks of it.
15:57Whoa!
15:59Well there's a fella that knows about scoring special goals in Champions League finals,
16:03Zinedine Zidane.
16:04That's an absolute beauty from Gareth Bale, who don't even on the pitch for two minutes.
16:08And he scores a goal like that.
16:10And Liverpool have to go again.
16:13High standard of football.
16:15We've seen some magnificent goals.
16:17Here's Mane looking to get in, and Ramos!
16:20Who's hurt himself in the process, had to take decisive action.
16:24And the Real Madrid captain did just that.
16:31And Sadio Mane.
16:34Oh, Wijnaldum.
16:37Mane.
16:38It's long!
16:39Oh, he's in the post!
16:41He did Nevas, but he comes back off the post.
16:49Really good play.
16:50Nice hit by him.
16:53It's not coming back.
16:54He's got Kerry Benzemaar up there with him.
16:59Oh, Van Dijk was dangling the leg out.
17:01Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:04He was two on two there.
17:05I thought he was going to try and pick out Benzemaar at the far post.
17:11Tight.
17:12There's Casemiro.
17:13Cristiano Ronaldo's in!
17:15Brilliant tackle by Robertson.
17:16He took an A, didn't he, Ronaldo?
17:17He's been one of the stars of the show en route to the final,
17:20and that's brilliant defended by the young Scotsman.
17:23Yeah.
17:24It was brilliant by him, and it was slow by Cristiano.
17:28He had to bail.
17:29He's the man making the headlines at the moment.
17:33Look at that for a ball as well, and Benzemaar!
17:35Ramos has made a little bit more of that, and he's going to get a yellow card here, Mane.
17:42He did just leave a little bit on the Real Madrid captain.
17:45It's the first yellow card that's been shown tonight by the referee.
17:49Yeah, he knew, didn't he, Sergio Ramos?
17:51Look, he's having a little luck.
17:52He knows he's coming in.
17:53He's snotting in, he wasn't.
17:54What a big job to do here, Glenn, to try and salvage something here in the 90 minutes.
17:58Yeah, I can see why he's put him on.
17:59Milner's done really well, but he's just fatigued a little bit,
18:02and Chan's got to bring some new energy.
18:04Oh, there's a shot!
18:05Oh, he's dropped it!
18:07It's Gareth Bale again, and it's a howler from Karius!
18:10Two goalkeeping errors tonight by Karius have caught Liverpool so dear in the Champions League final.
18:19The first goal from Bale was spectacular.
18:22The second one was so fortunate.
18:25And it's probably going to be enough now to win the Champions League for Real Madrid.
18:29It's Real Madrid 3, Liverpool 1, and you cannot legislate for that.
18:34You see Gareth lines it up.
18:38Takes the shot on and moves about a little bit, but he knows it's a big mistake.
18:42It's the team that makes the less mistakes go on and win games.
18:47And there's been a couple tonight.
18:52You see here Gareth just lines the shot up, no problem, no pressure on the ball.
18:56He's having a shot.
18:57Bit of movement, but that's easy, that.
18:59That's an easy one, that.
19:00It's just dipping out.
19:04For me, it hasn't even swerved sideways.
19:06It's just...
19:07He's going to make headlines of his own.
19:08And now Gareth Bale might be thinking about a hat-trick.
19:11He's in here, Bale.
19:12Brilliant tackle by Lovren.
19:16Yeah, brilliant by Lovren.
19:18Ronaldo was in.
19:19Ronaldo was in.
19:20He's not happy.
19:21He's not happy, look.
19:22He just...
19:23He just turns away in disgust, didn't he, Ronaldo?
19:25He didn't need Ronaldo.
19:29Here's Marco Asensio.
19:30And Ronaldo was hoping to be the finisher.
19:34Virgil van Dijk gets it behind for the corner.
19:38Yeah, it is well done.
19:39The Champions League final, now Toni Kroos.
19:43Here's Ronaldo.
19:45Asensio's up there with him.
19:46Ronaldo's desperate for a goal.
19:47He's an idiot on the field.
19:49He's an idiot on the field and almost got to Ronaldo.
19:51He's got to Ronaldo as he's shaping to shoot.
19:56He's got a bounce ball.
19:59Well, that's it.
20:00It's heartbreak for Liverpool.
20:02El tribo distinto en nuestra historia es...
20:08Cristiano Ronaldo!
20:12Timmons!
20:30Timmons!
