Liverpool's frustration at seeing how Marcelo lifted the Champions League is understandable.

The dominance of Klopp's men in the match has been disproportionate: he created chances to score 2.26 goals per game, while the white team stayed at 0.95, according to the expected goals (xG) data.

This metric measures the quality of chances a team creates.

It evaluates their ability to generate danger, and also, by looking at the opponent's data, the skill of the defense to avoid it.

The goal came in the stretch with the Whites' greatest possession, after the break.

In a Mendy throw-in in his field.

Quick touch with Kroos, band change through Militao.

Carvajal, Modric and Casemiro triangulated until they found a sloping Valverde who drove into the area and, being pressed by two nets, crossed hard and low to surprise Alexander-Arnold.

Whoever was the defensive reference for Liverpool had Benzema more in mind than Vinicius, behind him.

The Brazilian accompanied the play from Valverde's start and finished off alone.

El Real Madrid esperó en su campo, con solo tres de sus jugadores con la posición media por delante de la línea del centro del campo: Vinicius, Benzema y Valverde. Vinicius despuntaba como hombre adelantado de los blancos. El Liverpool propuso un partido completamente antagónico: salvo los centrales y el portero, todos sus jugadores pasaron la mayoría del tiempo en el campo contrario. Jugaron además mucho más compactados que los madridistas, con triangulaciones constantes entre Thiago, Fabinho y Henderson.
