Real Madrid and Juventus are European soccer royalty, but they faced each other only once in a Champions League final — in 1998. This year’s game looks like a classic offense-defense matchup, with Madrid’s high scoring attack looking to solve a Juventus defense that allowed only one goal in the knockout stages.

Here’s what we know about the game.

When is it? Saturday, 2:45 p.m. Eastern.

How can I watch? Fox, where pregame coverage starts at 2 p.m. Streaming on Fox Sports Go.

Where are they playing? Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, which is hosting the final for the first time.

What’s on the line? Real Madrid is hoping to claim a record 12th European title; no other club has more than seven. A victory would give Madrid back-to-back titles, which no team has accomplished since Milan in 1989 and ’90, when the tournament was known as the European Cup.
