According to the CCTV 5 program list (January 2, 2024), the highest glory of the European Champions League has once again fallen into the arms of Real Madrid. In the final on May 27, 2023, Real Madrid defeated Liverpool 3-1, becoming the first team to win three consecutive Champions League titles. Liverpool, however, missed the chance to win the championship because of Salah's injury and Karius's two mistakes.

The start of the final was a nightmare for Liverpool. In the 25th minute, Salah, the top scorer of Liverpool, was injured and fell to the ground in the fight with Ramos, unable to continue the game, and was replaced by Lovren. Salah's injury and retirement not only hurt Liverpool's morale, but also made them lose the biggest offensive threat. Real Madrid, however, did not miss this opportunity and began to strengthen their oppression of Liverpool.

In the second half, Real Madrid took the lead in breaking the deadlock, but it was Liverpool goalkeeper Karius who broke the deadlock. In the 51st minute, when Karius returned the ball, he did not notice the position of Benzema and directly threw the ball to Benzema's feet. Benzema easily blocked the ball into the empty goal, and Real Madrid took a 1-0 lead. This goal made Carius the focus of the game and made Liverpool fans feel extremely depressed.

Liverpool didn't give up. They equalised four minutes later. In the 55th minute, Liverpool got a corner kick. Milner's cross was cleared by the Real Madrid defender, but the ball fell at the foot of Mane. Mane shot without thinking. The ball hit Varane's leg, changed the direction, flew into the goal of Real Madrid, and Liverpool recovered a goal 1-1.

However, Liverpool's happiness did not last long. They were soon defeated by the magic goal of Real Madrid. In the 64th minute, Real Madrid coach Zidane replaced Isko with Bale, and the replacement received immediate results. In the 64th minute, Marcelo's left cross made Bell jump backward in the restricted area and hit a beautiful barb with his left foot. The ball went into a dead corner. Karius did not respond. Real Madrid took the lead again 2-1. This goal, known as one of the most wonderful goals in the history of the Champions League, also made Bell a hero in the final.

Liverpool want to fight back again, but their luck seems to have run out. In the 83rd minute, Carius was once again the villain of Liverpool. Bell tried a long-range shot 30 meters away, and the ball was not threatening, but Karius did not grasp the ball, let the ball slip out of his hands, crossed the goal line, and Real Madrid locked the victory 3-1. This mistake has left Carrius ashamed and Liverpool powerless to recover.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Liverpool 3-1, realizing the great cause of three consecutive Champions League titles and becoming the first team to win the championship for 13 times in the history of the Champions League. Liverpool, however, lost the final and missed their long-awaited sixth European Cup because of Salah's injury and Karius's two mistakes.
