This is a Champions League final live stream to really get excited about. Liverpool may have (just) missed out on the Premier League title, but they've arguably been the best team in Europe this season. They've already picked up the Carabao and FA Cups, have won 10 out of 12 Champions League games, and have scored 147 goals in all competitions.
Real Madrid have looked pretty special too; they won the Spanish La Liga title (for the 35th time!) and the Spanish Supercup and have notched 118 goals themselves. They had to fight to make it to the Champions League final, though, with tough (and dramatic) wins over Paris Saint Germain, Chelsea and Man City in the knockout stages. Liverpool, by contrast, had a relatively serene journey that saw them defeat Inter Milan, Benfica and Villarreal.
Both teams have now been announced, and Jürgen Klopp has gone for Luis Diaz up front alongside Sadio Mané and Mo Salah, while Thiago and Fabinho are fit to start in midfield. In defence, Ibrahima Konaté gets the nod over Joel Matip.
For Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti has chosen Valverde on the right wing, while David Alaba is fit to start in defence.
Here's how they line up:
Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago; Salah, Mane, Diaz.
Substitutes: Kelleher, Milner, Keita, Firmino, Gomez, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jones, Minamino, Jota, Tsimikas, Matip, Elliott.
Real Madrid: Courtois; Carvajal, Eder Militao, Alaba, Mendy; Kroos, Casemiro, Modric; Valverde, Benzema, Vinicius Jr.
Substitutes: Substitutes: Lunin, Hazard, Nacho, Asensio, Marcelo, Lucas Vazquez, Bale, Dani Ceballos, Rodrygo, Camavinga, Isco, Mariano.
These two sides met in 2017 and Real Madrid won that time. Will Jürgen Klopp's men avenge that defeat and take the trophy in Paris today? Find out by watching a Liverpool vs Real Madrid live stream.
