It was the second all-English affair after Manchester United and Chelsea disputed the 2008 final and while not exactly a classic, Liverpool did enough to secure victory at the Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid.
They won a penalty inside just 24 second, with Moussa Sissoko adjudged to have handled in the area and Mo Salah scored the ensuing spotkick to banish the demons from a year ago while Divock Origi fittingly wrapped proceedings with an 87th-minute goal off the bench.
The victory saw Liverpool lift the Champions League for the sixth time and put them in contention for two other trophies.
