Real Madrid set a record of winning the Champions League 3 times in a row

The image of defender Sergio Ramos lifting the Champions League trophy was recreated once again to the excitement of Real Madrid fans. Coach Zinedine Zidane and his team completed a hat-trick of titles in Europe's number one cup tournament.

Real Madrid defended the Champions League title for the second consecutive time. This is the fourth silverware in the last five seasons, thereby helping “Los Blancos” affirm their dominance in this tournament.

The Spanish Royal team won the European silver cup for the 13th time in history. In the European arena, Real Madrid is the best club in the history of the number 1 cup tournament of the old continent.

Entering the 2017/18 final, Liverpool were the team with confidence, but their play was soon ruined when star player Mohamed Salah injured his shoulder after a collision with centre-back Sergio Ramos. Unable to continue playing, the Egyptian player cried on his way off the field in the 31st minute.

With their opponents missing their number one star, Real Madrid quickly put pressure on Liverpool’s defense. The goal came to “Los Blancos” after goalkeeper Loris Karius made a mistake when he threw the ball to Benzema’s feet, thereby creating conditions for the French striker to easily open the score in the 52nd minute.

4 minutes later, Liverpool equalized 1-1 thanks to Mane. Starting from a corner kick on the right wing, Liverpool leveled the score when Sadio Mane finished close to the goal from Dejan Lovren's header.

However, coach Zidane once again showed the correctness in his decision to adjust the squad. 3 minutes after coming on for Isco, Gareth Bale jumped up and scored a goal to raise the score to 2-1 for Real Madrid in the 64th minute.

Before the match ended, goalkeeper Loris Karius continued to make mistakes in blocking Gareth Bale's long-range shot. He let the ball bounce into the net, much to the frustration of his teammates.

Winning 3-1 against Liverpool, coach Zidane and his team helped Real Madrid make history in Europe's number one cup tournament as the first team to win the Champions League for 3 consecutive seasons.
