Two European giants, with incredible history are about to face off later tonight in Kiev, in a highly anticipated match.

It will incredibly be Real Madrid's 3rd successive final in the Uefa Champions League, while it's Liverpool's 1st one in 11 years.

The Spanish heavyweights have won it an incredible 12 times from 15 finals, while Liverpool have won it 5 times from 7 finals.

They are also the 2 teams with the best winning % in the competition's final (excluding teams who have appeared in less than 3 finals), with Real Madrid at 80% and Liverpool at 71%.

Real Madrid's boss Zinedine Zidane could make history by becoming the 1st manager to win the Champions League 3 times in a row, a record which is already held by the Frenchman after winning the 2nd consecutive one last season.

Jurgen Klopp on the other hand is looking for his 1st triumph in the competition after loosing the 2012/13 final against Bayern Munich, when he was in charge of Borussia Dortmund.

The German manager has some great news after he was left with a very thin squad due to injuries,especially in the midfield department as Emre Can is set for a role on the bench after recovering from the injury that kept him out for over 2 months, and he also has Adam Lallana back at his disposal after practically missing the entire season.

On the other hand Zidane has a totally different problem, as he has a huge headache when he comes to name his starting 11, with an incredible squad to choose from.

Here are tonights expected line-ups for both teams :

𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐨𝐥 (𝟒-𝟑-𝟑): Karius; Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Van Dijk, Robertson; Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum; Salah, Firmino, Mane.

𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐝 (𝟒-𝟑-𝟑): Navas; Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo; Kroos, Modric, Casemiro, Bale, Ronaldo, Benzema.
