The UEFA Champions League final features two of Europe's most successful teams as Liverpool lock horns with Real Madrid on Saturday. Both teams have excellent players in their ranks and have a point to prove this weekend.
Liverpool are in impressive form at the moment and will be intent on a European trophy this season after missing out on the Premier League title. The English giants were given a scare by Villarreal in the semi-finals and will need to present a more assured front in this fixture.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, have dominated La Liga this season and could potentially win their 14th Champions League title on Saturday. Los Blancos have pulled off a number of impeccable comebacks in the competition this year and will be confident ahead of this match.
Liverpool vs Real Madrid Head-to-Head
Real Madrid have a slight edge over Liverpool and have won four of the eight matches played between the two teams. Liverpool have managed three victories against Real Madrid and will need to level the scales on Saturday.
The previous meeting between the two teams took place last year and ended in a 0-0 stalemate. Both teams squandered chances on the day and will want to be more clinical this weekend.

Achelloti is killing Real Madrid...Toni Kroos, Modric and Casemiro they don't run so its better to only start one and bring Valvede in the midfield position not on the wing...other wise if the three tired midfielders start tonight then Madrid will only win by luck...we need a lot of energy in the midfield and Camavinga and Valvede and Casimero can provide that

Man City remains the best team in the world but a piece of magic from REAL MADRID eliminated them. I hope that magic has not forsaken Madrid. Madrd win not because of quality but because of magic/luck.

Liverpool would surely win this game but with the backing and the support of referees toward Madrid it would be difficult Liverpool just have to kill the game earlier by a margin score even though the official put 10 minutes in added time Liverpool in which I believe should still be able to win but it would be difficult trust me
