Welcome to Madrid

Liverpool are champions of Europe for the sixth time after a 2-0 defeat of Premier League rivals Tottenham in Madrid. The Reds' victory, courtesy a Mohamed Salah penalty awarded in the first minute and converted in the second, plus a late Divock Origi effort, not only exorcises the demons of last season's 3-1 loss to Real Madrid in Kyiv but also ends Jürgen Klopp's run of six successive club final defeats.

Key Stats

• 2: Salah's goal was the second fastest in a final after Paolo Maldini's effort 51 seconds into the 2005 decider.
• 5: A substitute has scored in five of the last six finals: Marcelo (2014), Yannick Carrasco (2016), Marco Asensio (2017), Gareth Bale (2018) and now Origi.
• 6: Liverpool's sixth European Cup means they go third on their own on the all-time honours board, behind only Real Madrid (13) and AC Milan (7).
• 6: Klopp's run of six successive final defeats, including three with Liverpool, stretched back to Borussia Dortmund's 2013 UEFA Champions League final loss to Bayern.
• 13: England now has 13 European Cups, clear in second place behind Spain (18) and ahead of Italy (12).
• 17: Klopp is the 17th coach to win the UEFA Champions League.
• 20: Of the 26 UEFA Champions League finals that have had a goal, 20 have been won by the team scoring first. Only 2003 ended goalless.
