Bale Named Champions League Final Man of the Match

Real Madrid Beat Liverpool to Complete Hat-Trick

Gareth Bale was named man of the match in the Champions League final as Real Madrid beat Liverpool 3-1 to complete a hat-trick of titles.

The Welshman scored a stunning overhead kick to put Real in front in the second half, before Karim Benzema and Sadio Mane traded goals to make it 2-1. Bale then set up Cristiano Ronaldo for the third goal, which sealed the victory for the Spanish giants.

It was a memorable night for Bale, who has now scored in two Champions League finals for Real Madrid. He was a constant threat to the Liverpool defence throughout the game, and his goal was a moment of pure brilliance.

Real Madrid's victory means they have now won the Champions League three times in a row, and four times in the last five years. It is a remarkable achievement for a team that has been dominant in Europe for so long.
