JUST IN: Vinícius Júnior Seals Real Madrid 14th UEFA Champions League Title

Vinícius Júnior has sealed Real Madrid’s 14th UEFA Champions League Title in Paris on Saturday night.

Gatekeepers News reports that Vinícius Júnior made his first goal for the UEFA Champions League final after netting the first and only goal of the match at the 59th minute.

Although the 21-year-old gave the Blancos a simple and concise victory, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois gave the European Champions some fantastic saves while contending for their 14th Title.

Although Liverpool created an expected goals tally of 2.14 from 24 shots on goal, Courtois with the help of the defenders was simply unbeatable.

The insurmountable defence of the Belgian has earned him the ‘Man of the match.’

Nevertheless, Vinicius Jnr’s goal proved the difference on a night where Liverpool did enough to score a couple of goals but a combination of Courtois and some poor final balls has cost them.

Meanwhile, coach Carlo Ancelotti who joined Real after Zinedine Zidane left at the end of the 2020/2021 season has now become the first manager to win the European Cup/Champions League title four times.

Jurgen Klopp’s men who were aiming for their third title of the season were quite unlucky despite having more shots on targets at Stade de France on Saturday night.
