Liverpool were given a helping hand after just 22 seconds when Sadio Mane’s ball brushed Moussa Sissoko’s arm at close range, prompting Slovenian referee Damir Skomina to point to the spot for Salah to convert down the middle (2).

It was an otherwise turgid affair in sweltering conditions in the Spanish capital, until sub Origi, the two-goal hero in Liverpool’s unforgettable semi-final win over Barcelona, struck a pinpoint low effort into the far corner from the left of the box (87).
