Eighth Anniversary of the Thirteenth

Real Madrid wrote another memorable page in the history of the European Cup by winning the Thirteenth in Kyiv. Our team defeated Liverpool 3-1 and became the first to win three consecutive Champions League titles. In the 51st minute, Benzema opened the scoring after pressing the goalkeeper's clearance and deflecting the ball into the net. Liverpool quickly equalized through Mané, and in the 64th minute came a key moment of the final when Bale, with an impressive bicycle kick, made it 2-1. The Welshman completed a brace minutes later with a long-range goal that sealed the final 3-1.

Real Madrid thus secured their fourth Champions League title in five seasons, in a cycle that will remain forever in football history.
