The most prestigious competition in club football returns one last time on May 28th as Liverpool will take on Real Madrid in a repeat of the 2018 edition of the tournament. The match will take place at the Stade de France in Paris and will have a special guest.

Liverpool arrived at this stage relatively unscathed but faltered in the semi-final against Villareal. The Spanish club looked set to mount an upset after scoring two goals in the first half of their second-leg match, but Liverpool scored three in the second half to put the tie to bed.
