Liverpool and Real Madrid will each be looking to stand on the top step of European football's podium when they meet in the UEFA Champions League final in Paris this evening.
Liverpool booked their place in their third final in five seasons earlier this month, surviving a scare against Villarreal to win their semi-final showdown 5-2 on aggregate. The Merseysiders won the first-leg 2-0 at Anfield before being tasked with coming from 2-0 down to beat the Spanish outfit 3-2 in the second-leg at the Estadio de la Ceramica.
Just 24 hours later, Madrid joined Liverpool in booking their tickets for Paris, producing a staggering comeback to beat Manchester City at the Bernabeu. The La Liga giants were 1-0 down on the night and 5-3 behind on aggregate as the game entered the final minute, only for them to score twice late on and then force the contest to extra-time, in which they won 3-1 on the night, securing a 6-5 victory on aggregate.
