Real Madrid is once again king of the Champions League for the 13th time in history and by far most all time. On Saturday, Real Madrid beat Liverpool 3-1 on an absolutely magical, baffling bicycle kick goal from Gareth Bale to win a third straight Champions League crown.
Everything has happened in the second half, when Real took advantage of momentum in a match that saw Liverpool lose superstar Mohamed Salah to a shoulder injury in the first half.
Real Madrid then opened the scoring with Karim Benzema taking advantage of an stunning gaffe from Loris Karius in goal early in the second half. It was all undone with Bale’s knockout kick. Real added a late goal from Bale that was another gaffe from the goalkeeper.
This the Benzema’s opener on 51 minutes, which is as everyone said, just one of the most unbelievable goals in history:
