Real Madrid secured a historic third successive Champions League title on Saturday night after beating Liverpool 3-1 in Kiev.
Goals from Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale (2) - with the help of Loris Karius - secured victory for Zinedine Zidane's men whose experience on the main stage saw them through to victory.
Sadio Mane drew Liverpool level after Benzema's opener but the Reds quickly found themselves trailing again after Bale's sublime volley.
A second Karius mistake handed Real's third to kill the game with seven minutes left on the clock.
The win is a third in succession and a record 13th overall for the Spanish giants.
