UEFA Champions League Final

Result: Tottenham Hotspur 0-2 Liverpool

Date: 01 June 2019

Venue: Wanda Metropolitano Stadium

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino opted to start Harry Kane ahead of Lucas Moura, who netted a hat-trick in the second leg against Ajax Amsterdam.   However, the North London outfit did not get the start they wanted after Liverpool were awarded a penaly after 25 seconds when Moussa Sissoko handled in the box.   SLTV: Henry: What Does It Take To Reach The UCL Final   Mohamed Salah, who substituted in the first leg of last season's final, stepped up and fired home from 12-yards out to put the Reds ahead.   Spurs took control of the encounter after going down early on, but the likes of Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli struggled to get in to the game, which led to a lack of chances in the final third.   That proved to be the trend for the rest of the opening stanza, with Liverpool's Andrew Robertson providing the only real threat with an effort from distance minutes before the break.  
Unfortunately for the supporters in the Spanish capital, it was more of the same with Spurs dominating without creating any chances.   Surprisingly, it was Jurgen Klopp who opted to change his stall with the introduction of Divock Origi and James Milner just before the hour mark, with Roberto Firmino and Wijnaldum making way.   Pochettino responded by throwing the semi-final hero, Lucas, with 25 minutes remaining as Spurs went in search of an equaliser.   It was the substitute on the red side that got the job done as Origi collected a pass from Joel Matip before drilling the ball into the far corner to double Liverpool's lead with four minutes remaining.   The Reds were able to see off a late push from Spurs to claim the 2-0 win as they secured their sixth Champions League title, more than any other English side.
