    Real  Madrid's just taken the lead over Liverpool, early in the second half of the Champions League football final in Paris

    Real Madrid's just taken the lead over Liverpool, early in the second half of the Champions League football final in Paris


    Vinicius Junior's got the goal just before the hour mark - Karim Benzema also had the ball in the net just before halftime for Real - but it was ruled out for offside, in a lengthy VAR check.

    The kickoff was delayed more than half an hour, with chaos at the gates outside the Stade de France - tear gas and pepper spray was used on some Liverpool fans.
