From Marbella to Madrid: How Reds' preparations paid off in CL final

After referee Damir Skomina blows his whistle for the first time at Estadio Metropolitano on Saturday, Liverpool battle three times for second balls with midfield-pressing situations.

After a back and forth, the Reds gather possession. They then instinctively look to find Sadio Mane running beyond Tottenham Hotspur's high defensive line.

Jordan Henderson sends the speedster beyond Kieran Trippier and it then leads to the breakthrough via the penalty spot. 1-0 Liverpool.
