Watch: Real Madrid ride on lone Vinicius Jr. strike to beat Liverpool for a 14th UCL title

Vinicius Jr's UEFA Champions League season had a fairytale ending with the Brazilian youngster scoring the match-winning goal just before the hour mark. Vinicius' goal was enough to see Real Madrid edge out Liverpool 1-0 in Paris. The UEFA Champions League title was the 14th crown for Los Blancos. On the other hand, Liverpool had to contend with two domestic titles despite the team in contention for a quadruple through the season. 

UCL Final: Vinicius Jr goal against Liverpool

Liverpool hit the post in the opening session with Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois deflecting Saido Mane's shot. Real Madrid finally managed to break the deadlock with the first good chance in the second half. Valverde marched down the left with the ball and got it to the back post with an effort that almost looked like an errant shot, but Vinicius Jr ensured that he buried the ball into the empty net with Alisson, not in a position to stop it.
