What time is the Champions League final in 2022? Date, time and venue
Your guide to the Champions League final including when and where the showpiece game will take place.
The Champions League final is almost here. A season-long journey comes to an end with a 90-minute battle between two of the biggest, most successful teams in European football history.
Liverpool head into the game as marginal favourites, but they face seismic opponents in the shape of Real Madrid. The pair boast 19 Champions League and European Cup titles between them, 13 in favour of the Spanish giants, six for the Reds.
Both teams have fought hard to reach this showpiece game, and neither has enjoyed a completely straightforward journey, with the semi-finals in particular proving to be thrilling encounters.
Liverpool's two-goal first-leg lead was obliterated by Villarreal in the second leg. They were left shell-shocked at half time as the Yellow Submarine levelled things up. However, the Reds struck back with three goals to finally dislodge their tricky opponents.
Real Madrid trailed 5-3 on aggregate going into the 90th minute of their second-leg clash with Manchester City but two last-ditch strikes and an early penalty in extra time saw Los Blancos triumph 6-5 in a bewildering reversal of fortunes.
All the talking, all the build-up comes to a close very soon, and we've got all the details on when the game will take place.
