Gareth Bale has scored twice from the bench to earn Real Madrid a 3-1 win over Liverpool in the final of the 2018 Champions League at the NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium.
The Welshman produced a masterclass in his half an hour on the field, putting Los Blancos back in front with one of the all-time great European Cup goals after they were pegged back.
Bale made perfect contact with an overhead kick moments after being introduced, and he went on to add a second late on to seal a third successive triumph for Madrid in UEFA’s flagship competition.
The 63rd final will be best remembered for the 28-year-old’s wonder goal, but a couple of Loris Karius howlers will also live long in the memory – the German at fault for the first and last of the Spanish outfit’s goals on a famous night in Kiev.
Liverpool, beaten in a third final under Jurgen Klopp, will wonder what might have been as they lost star man Mohamed Salah to a suspected dislocated shoulder with just 31 minutes on the clock.
