Champions League end of season awards: Karim Benzema and Real Madrid dominate as Sportsmail picks out the best player, goal, upset, individual performance and more from a remarkable 2021-22 campaign

Real Madrid's win over Liverpool in Paris on Saturday brought the curtain down on one of the most dramatic Champions League campaigns in recent memory - and capped one of the most astonishing runs to the trophy of all time.

Los Blancos edged a 1-0 victory against the Reds to lift their 14th European Cup, prevailing at the Stade de France thanks to Vinicius Jr's winner after the interval.

The final triumph was the cherry on top of a glorious cake for Madrid, who completed miraculous comebacks against Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Manchester City to make it to the French capital.
