Madrid wins Champions League final marred by crowd chaos

Associated Press  

PARIS — Yet another Champions League title for Real Madrid, the undisputed king of Europe. “I was going to win a Champions League no matter what.” It gave Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti a fourth European Cup title, the most ever for a manager in the competition’s history, and completed the Champions League-La Liga double for a Spanish giant for whom winning titles is ingrained in its culture. They lost out on the Premier League title by one point last weekend and the Champions League to a Madrid team that had one shot on target in the final. “I’ve got really bad asthma and I’ve been tear gassed twice,” Liverpool fan Angela Murphy told The Associated Press through a fence. Liverpool said it was “hugely disappointed” with the security issues experienced by its fans which were reminiscent of last summer outside Wembley before the Euro 2020 final between England and Italy.
