Zidane's last dance with Real Madrid

After a rough domestic season, only a Champions League title could save the season. Nobody believed that Real could win it for the third consecutive time, but with an experienced and talented squad and a manager like Zidane, nothing was impossible.

Liverpool were playing a very high pressing game under Jurgen Klopp and the attacking trio of Salah, Mane and Firmino was tearing defences every weak. Liverpool's defence was finally working after the singing of Virgil Van Dijk. On the other hand, Real had the best players in every position who had already won two consecutive Champions League trophies and three of the last four. It was truly going to be a very competitive fixture.

This was the last match Real Madrid played with Zidane as their boss. Liverpool were dominating until Mo Salah's injury and Modric and Kroos helped Madrid to resist the press. The substitution of Bale in the second half changed the match. Bale came in and scored two wonderful goals, one of them was a majestic bicycle kick. while the other was a mistake by Liverpool's goalkeeper Karius, who gifted two goals to Real. It was truly a night to forget for Karius and a night to remember for all the Madridistas.

I favour this game so much as this watch the last match of Cristiano and Zidane for the Casa Blanca. Winning a single Champions League title is a dream for every club, but under Zidane, Real Madrid was pure dominance.
