The two teams also faced off over two legs in the quarter-finals of the competition last season where Real Madrid came out top.
Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti has urged his team to avoid chasing another comeback when they face Liverpool on Saturday night, after the three dramatic revivals on their way to the final. He said, “We don’t want another comeback. We hope it will be Liverpool who will be trying to come back.”
Real Madrid could add a record-extending 14th Champions League title to its collection of European trophies if it could see off the challenge from Liverpool. Los Blancos’ road to the final came at the expense of other English opponents Chelsea and Manchester City, the Spanish champions will be seeking to add Liverpool to that list.
Liverpool is currently tied with Bayern Munich as joint-third on the list of highest winners of the Champions League trophy with 6 trophies apiece. If the English giant defeats Real Madrid, it would move up on the list and become joint-second with AC Milan on 7 trophies.
