Spanish club Real Madrid beat Liverpool 1-0 in the final of the French Premier League (IPL) on Saturday after the game was postponed for more than half an hour due to security concerns.
Vinicius Jr. of Brazil scored the only goal of the match, following a shot from his teammate Federico Valverde in the 59th minute to bring the Real Spanish League and the Champions League together.

Real strengthened its record and became the European champion for the 14th time in its history.
The start of the match was postponed for 36 minutes as police tried to disperse some fans who did not want to go to the “State de France” on the outskirts of the capital Paris.
