Liverpool

Liverpool hope to secure a third trophy this season, while Real Madrid seek to add to their La Liga triumph.

“It is a great success for all of us to be here. The final promises to be a fitting climax to the European season, with Liverpool looking to win a second Champions League in four seasons since losing 1-3 to Real Madrid in Kyiv in 2018, when Mohamed Salah went off injured in the first half and Gareth Bale scored twice for the Spaniards. Liverpool and Real Madrid meet in the Champions League final for the second time in five years, with Jurgen Klopp’s side aiming to end the season with a trophy treble while the Spanish giants will look to Karim Benzema to inspire them to a record-extending 14th European Cup victory.

Champions League Final 2022, Liverpool vs Real Madrid Live Streaming: For a player who doesn’t consider himself to be a striker, Mohamed Salah is the envy of many forwards with his scoring record for Liverpool. “I don’t play No. 9, I play on the wing,” Salah said. Where will the Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid be held? The Champions League final between Real Madrid and Liverpool will be played on May 29.

From a first Paris meeting to a bizarre Covid spectacle via some big nights at Anfield, here are half a dozen memorable matches.

The club later said he was concussed after a collision with Ramos. Whatever the cause, his errors gifted Madrid a 13th European Cup. It took the momentum out of Liverpool’s play and Madrid finished the half the better side. He scored 61 goals in all competitions that season but, remarkably, Madrid did not win La Liga or the Champions League. Barcelona – and that man Messi – won the treble. Fernando Torres was irresistible and played as though he was trying to kill the club he grew up hating, tormenting Pepe and a 35-year-old Fabio Cannavaro with his pace and off-the-shoulder runs and giving Liverpool a 1-0 lead in the 16th minute. Gerrard was fighting a losing battle with his ageing limbs, too, and it showed. When Madrid next turned up at Anfield, only three players – Marcelo, Pepe and Casillas – remained from that harrowing night in 2009 and Carlo Ancelotti was in charge. Dossena did it again a few days later, scoring in the 4-1 defeat of Manchester United that firmly put Liverpool back into the Premier League title race. If that sounds outlandish, Dossena, who was more noteworthy for how amply he filled his Liverpool shirt than what he did in it, nipped in to score a fourth. Some fleet-footed trickery from Ryan Babel helped to create a second for Gerrard early in the second half and then the match entered its trippy phase. As for Madrid, the shocking defeat sparked a second era of gálacticos at the Bernabéu, where Alonso would be strutting his stuff just months later. “It went in and I ran behind the goal to celebrate.” It was Liverpool’s – and Bob Paisley’s – third European Cup, putting them one ahead of Nottingham Forest and him one ahead of Brian Clough. That it came against the record six-time winners made it all the sweeter. For clubs with such rich history in Europe it seems strange now that this was the first time they met.

PARIS (AP) — Thousands of soccer fans were descending on Paris to see Liverpool and Real Madrid meet in the Champions League final later Saturday.

The Reds are the favourites this time around, but they must not let emotions of the past cloud their heads when they face Real Madrid on Saturday.

But Vinicius may also have to work on his cardio; when Liverpool do get on to the front foot, Alexander Arnold almost turns into a winger. Most pundits will see the best battle between Liverpool’s centre back Virgil van Djik and Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema. Benzema has scored 44 goals in 45 games this season, with 15 of those goals coming in the Champions League. Somehow, for every striker that comes up against Van Djik, it is usually a mismatch. For Real Madrid, the experience that they have in midfield with Luca Modric, Casemiro and Tony Kroos may be able to dictate the game in key moments. Real Madrid have shown defensive vulnerability in both La Liga and the Champions League this season. “We lost in the final [four years ago]. It was a sad day for all of us, but yeah, I think it’s revenge time.” Coming from Liverpool’s talisman, Mohamed Salah, it can be understood after he sustained an injury against Real Madrid in the final in 2018.

Liverpool take on Real Madrid in the Champions League final tonight in Paris. Here, our writers select the starting XIs we would like Jürgen Klopp to ...

Nonetheless, I'd still risk starting him considering the strength of Real Madrid's midfield and his key to Liverpool's harmony in the area. He has to start, alongside Mané through the middle and Salah on the right. Fabinho looks ready to go, having participated in full training since Wednesday. But Thiago was a notable absentee from that open session — it's a relief that he is in contention at all, but this is where Klopp can rely on his depth. The worst case scenario is both aren't right and come off after 20 minutes, in which case you still have three substitutions available. Liverpool have had a whole season to prepare for this, and work out who should play. At least seven of the names on the starting sheet are 100 per cent clear, assuming everyone is fit and able to take part, while any injuries could actually make those decisions easier.

For all the criticisms Klopp has received over the years about his rotation policy and handling of the squad, it’s been instrumental to our success this season. The partnership of Fabinho and Thiago, working in perfect tandem. This Liverpool team have given us the absolute best of times.
