Liverpool 2-Tottenham 0
Liverpool and Tottenham went head-to-head on Saturday evening in the 2019 Champions League final.
No matter the outcome it would be the first time an English side had lifted the trophy since 2012 when Chelsea did so.
The final in Madrid got off to a very lively start.
Moussa Sissoko was adjudged to have handled the ball inside his penalty area less than two minutes into the final, giving Liverpool an early penalty.
Mohamed Salah would step up and convert said spot kick.
The rest of the game was actually quite poor considering it was a UCL final, it was pretty clear both teams had been three weeks without a real competitive game of football.
Liverpool would eventually kill the game off in the 87th minute through Divock Origi.

Chamberlain remembers Arsenal
After the game, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain spoke about winning the final for Arsenal.
Arsenal are, of course, Spurs’ biggest rivals and Chamberlain himself played for Arsenal for many years before making the switch to Anfield.
However, Chamberlain didn’t feature in any UCL games this season due to the injury he suffered in last year’s competition vs Roma.
Chamberlain was still named on the bench for the 2019 final though.
When speaking about Arsenal, Chamberlain stated:
“As former Gooners, we all know how much that one meant to all the Arsenal fans out there.
“Once a Gooner always a Gooner’ that’s what they say. I had a personal sort of feeling in that game that we needed to get it done for all the people I left at Arsenal.”
