Liverpool vs Real Madrid Champions League Final Preview: Previous Encounter, Team News and More

The eyes of the football world will be glued on the NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium in Kiev on Saturday night as two historic clubs in Liverpool and Real Madrid contest the 26th Champions League final.

Zinedine Zidane's all-conquering Real Madrid are looking to make history by winning the iconic trophy for a third year in a row. In order for this to happen though, this will have to see off Jurgen Klopp's free-scoring Liverpool side, who are looking to pick up the big cup for the sixth time in their illustrious history, after a swashbuckling European campaign.

Los Blancos will head into the match in Kiev as the favourites, with Liverpool being the slight underdogs for the final - which is probably exactly how the Reds want it.
