Mohamed Salah and Divock Origi got the goals for the Reds in the win as Tottenham gave a tough fight for the title. Liverpool were in control throughout the game and were only troubled in the final 15 minutes or so.

The Egyptian had to be subbed off in the final last season after injuring his shoulder but opened the scoring after just one minute, via a spot-kick.
Another player that had a huge role in the win was Alisson. The Brazilian was adjudged as the Man of the Match, thanks to a few great saves in the second half.

Incredible words by two keepers
Simon Mignolet has been an excellent professional and the Belgian posted about the win too.

The back-up keeper hasn’t played much this season for us, but he was extremely pleased to have collected a Champions League medal.
One of the first players to congratulate the team on the win was Loris Karius. The German did not have a great final to remember last season, but the Liverpool star is on loan at Besiktas. This was a great gesture from him.
Congrats, @LFC. Really happy for everyone at the club and fans. You deserved this.

The youngster is a Liverpool fan through and through, and the right-back played a crucial role in our road to the Champions League final.
James Milner didn’t start the final but he came on in the second half to provide us with some protection and composure.

The Reds can enjoy some time off as European champions but they have to return hungrier and stronger for the upcoming season.
