Liverpool were frustrated by Real Madrid as they lost a second Champions League final in four years, both times against the Spanish giants.
Here’s how James Robson rated the players on show in Paris...
Alisson 6
Perhaps fortunate when Benzama’s first half strike was ruled out. Could do nothing about Vinicius’ winner.
Trent Alexander-Arnold 7
A real threat to Real. Set up Salah for an early chance and constantly stretched Real on the right.
Ibrahima Konate 8
Really important role covering for Alexander-Arnold. One first half interception on Vinicius prevented an almost certain goal.
Virgil van Dijk 8
Forced Benzema to operate in a deeper role with a typically controlled display.
Andy Robertson 6
Wasn’t the threat he often is – but that was largely because of the outstanding Carvajal and Valverde charging forward.
Jordan Henderson 7
Helped Liverpool boss midfield in the first half. Constantly showed for the ball.
Fabinho 7
Cut out a number of potential breaks for Real when they looked to use the pace of Vincius.
Thiago Alcantara 7
There were fears before kick off he wouldn’t make it. Dictated play in the first half – but couldn’t stop Real as they began to seize more control after the break.
Mo Salah 8
Will wonder how he was on the losing side. Denied by two stunning saves from Courtois – one in each half.
Sadio Mane 7
Thought he had opened the scoring with his first half effort, only to see the remarkable Courtois push his shot onto the post.
Luis Diaz 6
Buzzed with intent early on and looked determined to make his mark on the final – but was well-controlled by the outstanding Carvajal.
Diogo Jota (Diaz, 65) 6
Gave Liverpool a different dimension and very nearly got on the score sheet.
Naby Keita (Henderson, 77) 5
Could not turn the game in Liverpool’s favour.
Roberto Firmino (Thiago, 77)
Sent on in search of a goal, but could not provide one.
