An Italian stop-motion animator spent 14 hours recreating the Champions League final in Lego.

Marco, 40, and his 10-year-old son Mattia, created the viral video using more than 1,000 photos – featuring match highlights from Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah’s injury heartbreak to Gareth Bale’s inspired bicycle kick for Real Madrid.

Marco says football is his passion and the channel has hundreds of match recreations, with more than 84 million total views and 160,000 subscribers.

“I’m very angry and sad for not having Italy at the world cup!”

Noting that re-watching the Champions League final could be difficult for some, Marco directs Liverpool fans to the highlights of their semi-final tie against Roma and their victory over Manchester City on his extra channel – MFGB Extra.

No disagreement there.
