A 1-0 win against the Reds was a marked contrast to the great escapes that exemplified Los Blancos' run to the final

Carlo Ancelotti says Liverpool were "easier" for Real Madrid than Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Manchester City after their UEFA Champions League final victory in Paris on Saturday.

Los Blancos claimed a 1-0 victory over Jurgen KIopp's Reds to claim their first continental crown since 2018, when they beat the Premier League outfit previously.

It took several feats of last-gasp magic and great escapes against a trio of heavyweights to get there, and speaking afterwards, Ancelotti suggested the final contest had been the easiest of all for his side.

What has Ancelotti said about facing Liverpool?

"Looking back, people said PSG were unlucky, Chelsea were unlucky, Manchester City were unlucky," the Italian said in his post-match press conference.

"This was practically the only game where people thought we were more or less on the same level.

"I think it helped that Liverpool were easier to decipher than the others, because they have a very clear identity and we could prepare the way that we did. We knew what strategy to take - don’t give them space behind the defence to run into.

"Perhaps our football wasn’t extraordinarily beautiful on an aesthetic level, but playing out from the back to incentivise their pressing wasn’t a great idea. We had a few more long balls, then we got to control the ball more, especially in the second half."

What Madrid showed to Liverpool during the champion league finals

Chelsea is the bomb. Watch out for next season

E nu kpo

Real Madrid wey surpose collect 3-0. Na just I'll luck and the keeper play against them.

thats the simple fact...i agree with his point saying dt Liverpool were just too predictable, start from back n gv the ball to mane or sallah to run n force attack...no build up play, no much tactical twitch..
him changing thiago n bringing in firminho n keita killed any creativity in dt game n made it more boring....i expected more from klopp..

yeah...its normal n its simply bcoz madrid scored very early in dt second half bt still Liverpool did nothing...
I dnt think madrid would survive if dey did same early goals against the likes of PSG, city n Chelsea.
Chelsea n city games need extra time, dey was fatigue n the subs had a great influence on both games..
u tink dis madrid would survive a final by winning wit a lone goal against chelsea or city after scoring 56mins??
I dnt tink so bcox dey ain't solid defensively....the reds made it too easy for Madrid
