Real Madrid became the European champions for a record-extending 14th time — double the number of any other team on the continent — after beating Liverpool 1-0 in a final that started 37 minutes late because of disturbing scenes outside the Stade de France on Saturday.
It evoked memories of the violence that marred the European Championship final at Wembley Stadium 10 months ago.
Brazil winger Vinicius Jr. was the match-winner, applying a close-range finish in the 59th minute from Federico Valverde’s drive across the face of goal, while goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois took just as many plaudits by making breathtaking saves to deny Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah.
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti got the opportunity to lift a fourth European Cup title, the most ever for a manager in the competition’s history.
