Liverpool will attempt to win the club's seventh European Cup when they take on Real Madrid in Saturday night's Champions League final in Paris.
Los Blancos got the better of the Reds in the 2018 final and also came out on top when the sides met in the quarter-finals last season.
And the tactical battle at the Parc des Princes this weekend could be decided by a moment of brilliance from either side's dangermen - Luis Diaz and Vinicius Jnr.

Diaz has been a breath of fresh air since his move from Porto in January, helping Liverpool win the Carabao Cup and FA Cup and into this Saturday's Champions League final after a superb performance in the semi-final win over Villarreal, after which he was reduced to tears.
However, lining up against the Reds will be Madrid's own star winger, Vinicius Jnr. The Brazilian caused Liverpool misery last season, scoring twice as Real won the quarter-final first leg 3-1 before drawing the second leg at Anfield 0-0.
And under manager Carlo Ancelotti, who left Everton to return to the Spanish capital, the 21-year-old has taken his game to the next level this season.
Josh Williams explained on the Analysing Anfield podcast : "Vinicius is a massive threat whenever he picks up possession. He looks like the ultimate outlet in terms of successful dribbles this season, he's third in Europe with 101 behind Kylian Mbappe and Allan Saint-Maximin.
"In terms of carries into the penalty box, he's top in Europe with 101, second is Mbappe on 90 followed by Jack Grealish on 88. He's so direct and Ancelotti has used him like that all season. Liverpool's obvious defensive weakness is on that side compared to anywhere else on the pitch, really."
Co-host David Alexander-Hughes added: "Beyond having the ability to carry through the opposition's half to the area, he's added so many goals to his game. He only scored three goals (last season) - he underperformed in his xG, it was about 6.5.
"This season, purely in the league, he's scored 17 goals and he's overperformed in his xG, which says 13.1. He started the season well, his confidence was high, and he's gone from there and become this fantastic finisher. It's no coincidence that Ancelotti has gone in there and got the best out of a player like him. Ancelotti's man-management is elite, it's what he's been fantastic at.
"That speaks volumes, he scored three league goals last season and 17 this season - he's a completely different player. We know he's a good ball carrier but he's took that to the next level now he's supplementing it with goals, which is a big problem."
But Liverpool have their own player who can terrorises full-backs - Diaz.
"Certainly one-v-one, he's a huge problem for most defenders he comes up against," Alexander-Hughes said.
"We were talking about Vinicius, everything he does leading toward the box is fantastic, but he's also a goal threat and that's what Diaz has been since he's come in - an absolute danger for everyone he's faced in terms of in and around the penalty area.
"He's also got the final ball, setting up a team-mate or scoring a goal. I would start him."
