Tottenham vs Liverpool LIVE
Uefa Champions League Final 2018-19
Venue: Wanda Metropolitano, Madrid
Referee: Damir Skomina
Welcome to the Evening Standard’s LIVE coverage of the Champions League Final between Tottenham and Liverpool.
Things have got off to an electric start after Sadio Mane's attempt at a cross was adjudged to have been handled by Moussa Sissoko by referee Damir Skomina, who pointed to the spot.
There was a substantial wait as the video assistant referee checked the decision, but Salah kept his nerve and buried the spot-kick. The worst possible start for Spurs.
Dan Kilpatrick and David Lynch are at the Wanda Metropolitano tonight with expert analysis of all the action in Madrid...

Prediction: Liverpool win on penalties
Liverpool are favourites given their superb Premier League campaign, but it would be foolish to hedge your bets either way at this stage after watching those semi-final comebacks from both sides.
Star men Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Harry Kane are all match fit, though neither side exactly lacked their front men in the last round.
With so much at stake for both managers, expect a tight game which could likely be decided from 12 yards.
