Karim Benzema opened the scoring for Spanish giants in the 51st minute of the game after a goalkeeping error by Loris Karius.
Benzema deflected a throw by Karius back into the Liverpool's net to put his side ahead in the big final. However Real's advantage was very short lived as Sadio Mane scored the equalizer for the Merseyside club just four minutes after Benzema's opener to bring match back on the level terms.
In the 61st minute, Real substituted Gareth Bale in place of Isco and within two minutes of his arrival the Welshmen scored using an acrobatic bicycle kick to finish cross by Marcelo. And then in the 83rd minute another mistake by Karius helps Bale to net his second of the night. This time a long range short by Bale went through his (Karius) hands into the net.
Real's star forward Cristiano Ronaldo wasn't able to make into the score sheet but he was the chief architect to Real's triumph to glory.
