Liverpool Fans Hail Star's Impressive Performance Despite Champions League Final Defeat

As Liverpool, just like so many before them, were defeated by Real Madrid in the Champions League final, fans were full of praise for the majority of their squad.

With Liverpool's star player Mohamed Salah taken off in the first half as a result of a shoulder injury, fans were looking for other players to step up and not let their performance drop. Liverpool had an enormous task ahead of them, with Real Madrid hunting down their third consecutive Champions League trophy, and their 13th overall.

Real Madrid lined up with an attack consisting of Karim Benzema, Isco and Cristiano Ronaldo, with Gareth Bale and Marco Asensio entering the match later on.
