I never expected anything different from the final result of the champion league, Liverpool has not created enough history in the championship to be compared to Real Madrid. Going by past analysis and records Real Madrid is known for their ownership of the champions league Crown and haven't taken the trophy multiple times Liverpool only have a few championship trophy on their record, so with records, Real Madrid is more experience in the champions league than Liverpool.
I'd say the club that didn't get many trophy is more motivated and passionated rather than the club that had already got many trophies. This because usually they're already confident and satisfied with their record, so they wouldn't try harder to achieve more trophy. If you have watched the final match, you will see how Liverpool's players is really put a lot effort to make a score, especially Salah.
