Stream Champions League Final between Liverpool and Real Madrid.

The Reds have competed in every game that was available to them this season, advancing all the way to the championship match in each of the three knockout competitions. At this point, their primary goal is to win the Europa League in addition to the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup. After Manchester City's dramatic victory in the Premier League title game, Liverpool's hopes of winning the quadruple have been dashed, but the Champions League is much more than just a consolation prize.

The team coached by Jurgen Klopp will take on Real Madrid in a rematch of the championship game from 2018, and they will be hoping for a very different result. That must seem like a long time ago to Welshman Gareth Bale, who will be leaving Spain this summer after spending the past four years playing for Real Madrid and scoring twice in their 3-1 victory.

It has been an extraordinary run all the way to the final for the LaLiga champions, who have had multiple opportunities where it appeared virtually inevitable that they would be eliminated. This was the situation in the semi-final match against Manchester City, where Rodrygo scored two goals in the closing minute of regulation to force extra time, where Karim Benzema completed the victory.
