Real Madrid only needed one shot.

After almost an hour of goalless football, Saturday's Champions League final burst into life when Vinicius Junior scored in the second half from close range to give Real Madrid a 1-0 lead over Liverpool that held up until the final whistle.

The Brazilian attacker found himself wide open after getting behind Trent Alexander-Arnold to connect with Federico Valverde's low strike across the Liverpool penalty area.
