Great Britain:
“The Guardians”: “It was one game too many for Liverpool. The number 63 in a season in which they had played every game should bring them the crowning glory. (…) It wasn’t supposed to be. On an evening when after the kick-off was delayed by 36 minutes because of the problems faced by Liverpool fans outside the stadium, their team gave their all to break Real’s mysterious myth that the Spanish champions don’t lose finals.”
“The Independent”: “Vinicius breaks Liverpool’s hearts. The most chaotic and unpredictable of all runs ends as it had to end. (…) Liverpool’s players were powerless against fate.”
“The Sun”: “Stade de farce. Fan chaos at Champions League final, tear gas against peaceful fans.”
“The Times”: “Courtois and Vinicius deny Liverpool victory in Paris. It’s their trophy, it’s their competition and everyone else is just the hunters in the Champions League. Here it is: Real Madrid and Carlo Ancelotti are the rulers of Europe again.”
Italy:
“La Gazzetta dello Sport”: “Carletto the Great. Nobody like Ancelotti: Fourth Champions League victory. The Reds attack, but the defensive tactics win and Courtois holds everything.”
France:
“L’Equipe”: “Immortal. Real wins its 14th Champions League in the final against Liverpool. (…) The organization at the Stade de France became a fiasco. The mass panic by fans without a ticket delayed access to the stadium and the kick-off and called into question the extraordinary security measures .”
“Le Parisian”: “Stamp panic and clashes: A chaotic evening at the Stade de France.”
Netherlands:
“General Dagblad”: “Title for Real, tears for Liverpool.”
Switzerland:
“View”: “Epic, royal night in Paris. The pot goes to Madrid for the 14th time. Why? Because Real has an outstanding goalie in Courtois, is ice cold and defends in solidarity. Liverpool lick their wounds. The worst scenes are before the game.”
