The Champions League final is set up to be an all-time classic. Liverpool will come up against Real Madrid in a rematch of the 2018 final. That match is most remembered for Gareth Bale’s wonder goal and Loris Karius’ poor outing. Therefore, there is no doubt as to why this year’s event will not match, or surpass the spectacle of three years back.

The two teams have been in an unrelenting mood this season. Liverpool have already claimed the Carabao Cup, meet Chelsea in the FA Cup final, and are three points behind Manchester City for the league title.
On the other hand, Real Madrid have already won La Liga and have had a campaign of comebacks in Europe. Both teams will not back down in their pursuit of the ultimate glory. Given the fact that this will be the final match of the European league season, millions will be watching worldwide.
The two teams have had wildly different paths to reach this position. Liverpool had comfortable aggregate victories over Benfica and Villarreal. Meanwhile, Real Madrid had to rely on late game heroics in all of their matches.
Karim Benzema has been the star turn for Los Blancos who have seemingly been imperious from losing positions. There are a lot of new faces this time around than in 2018, not least Carlo Ancelotti himself. The former Everton boss will also have a personal itch to defeat his former Merseyside rivals.
