The way some of your fans have acted like Billy big bollocks for the past months shows you have a lot to lose. Would be hilarious if the flag making mongs had to go home without a trophy.

Haha. Well they've had reason to be pleased. We've righted the wrong from our last whimper of a campaign by showing we still have the pedigree to go deep into European cup tournaments.

 - Victory in Kyiv would make Real Madrid the fourth team to claim three successive European crowns – and the first to do it twice, following their victories in the first five European Cup finals between 1956 and 1960. AFC Ajax (1971–73) and FC Bayern München (1974–76) are the only other clubs to have lifted the trophy three years running.

 - The fixture is a repeat of the 1981 European Cup final, won 1-0 by Liverpool in Paris to give them a third triumph in the competition in five years. That was Madrid's last defeat in the final of this competition.

 - That 1981 victory is also the only time an English club has prevailed against Spanish opposition in a European Cup final. Liga clubs have won the other three meetings, FC Barcelona beating Arsenal FC 2-1 in 2006 and Manchester United FC in both 2009 (2-0) and 2011 (3-1).

 - The sides have met on five previous occasions, all in the European Cup, with Liverpool winning three of those fixtures and Madrid two. The English club have scored six goals; Madrid have managed four.

 - The teams last crossed paths in the 2014/15 group stage, Madrid winning both games with Karim Benzema scoring twice and Ronaldo once in the first, a 3-0 away win.

 - Liverpool beat Madrid 5-0 on aggregate in the 2008/09 round of 16. Rafael Benítez's Reds won the first leg 1-0 in Spain, Yossi Benayoun getting the only goal with eight minutes left.

 - Liverpool completed a comfortable aggregate victory with a 4-0 success back on Merseyside – Madrid's biggest UEFA Champions League defeat – thanks to two Steven Gerrard goals (28pen, 47) and further strikes from Fernando Torres (16) and Andrea Dossena (88).

 - Ramos, Ronaldo, Bale, Luka Modrić, Karim Benzema, Dani Carvajal, Marcelo and Isco could all appear in their fourth UEFA Champions League final victory for Madrid.

 - Madrid are the first team to reach three successive UEFA Champions League finals since Juventus between 1996 and 1998 – the Bianconeri won only one of those matches.

 - This is Madrid's 31st UEFA final. In addition to their 15 European Cup appearances, they were UEFA Cup winners in 1985 and 1986 and European Cup Winners' Cup runners-up in 1971 and 1983. They lifted the UEFA Super Cup in 2002, 2014, 2016 and 2017 having lost in 1998 and 2000, and won the European/South American Cup in 1960, 1998 and 2002, losing in 1966 and 2000.

 - This is Liverpool's 20th UEFA final. In addition to their seven European Cup appearances, they are three-time winners of the UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League (1973, 1976, 2001), losing the 2016 final, and won the UEFA Super Cup in 1977, 2001 and 2005, losing in 1978 and 1984. They also lost in the 1965/66 European Cup Winners' Cup final, and the 1981 and 1984 European/South American Cup.

 - No members of Liverpool's squad have previously played in a UEFA Champions League final.

 - Zidane's side have scored in their last 29 UEFA matches, their most recent blank coming against English opposition – a goalless draw against Manchester City FC in the 2015/16 UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg.

 - The Spanish club's overall record against English sides is W15 D11 L11 F52 A43.

 - Overall, the Merseyside club's record against Spanish sides is W14 D12 L11 F46 A38. They have won only one of their last seven fixtures against Liga clubs outside England – that 2009 success at Real Madrid.

 - Including qualifying, Liverpool have scored 46 goals in 14 games this season, at an average of 3.29 goals per game – surpassing Barcelona's record of 45 from 1999/2000. Discounting the Reds' haul of six against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim in the play-offs they are on 40 goals, behind Real Madrid's 41 (2013/14), a record for a 13-match season, and Barcelona, who scored 45 in 2002/03 – although Barcelona played 16 games that season. Liverpool's 12-match average of 3.33 goals per game is higher than that of both sides.

 - Liverpool's record in four UEFA penalty shoot-outs is W3 L1

 - James Milner set a new UEFA Champions League record with his assist in the semi-final first leg – his ninth in this season's competition.

 - This is Madrid's fourth final rematch, and they have won all three previous such encounters; they also beat Stade de Reims in 1956 and 1959.

Easily the European giants of their respective leagues.

You do worry about the gulf in quality in midfield, if real madrid can take the sting out and slow thenl game down then they should dominate.

The same could have been said about City and Roma, and in fact City set out explicitly trying to kill the game's pace by cramming in Gundogan.

Personally I think they're best off giving up the ball and trying to force Liverpool into dictating the play. And unlike most big clubs, Madrid don't give a shit about playing negatively vs underdogs.

Of course Liverpool can trouble Real Madrid but I'm sure they're hoping they don't need the luck of bad decisions, like against Man City and against Roma, to win the match.

Couldn't care less about this final. completely uninterested in Real Madrid and Liverpool. I guess I will be on Liverpool's side cause Uefadrid used the referee to get through Juventus in Santiago Bernabeu with that last minute penalty. on the other hand it would be quite remarkable for Zidane to win a third consecutive CHL cup. I think this have never happened before and what irony if it happens with Zidane, a manager who never gained high esteem by other managers and the crowd.

Liverpool got incredibly fortunate against City. 

Real beat PSG, Juve, and Bayern fail and square. Granted those three clubs practically shot themselves in the foot to which Real took full advantage given their experience in this competition.
