Liverpool face Real Madrid in the Champions League final under the lights at the Stade de France, Paris on Saturday night and you surely don't need any more convincing than that to tune in.

The Reds enter the game with six titles under their belt and a point to prove after being pipped at the post for the Premier League title by a solitary point.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds have been an all-conquering force in knockout competitions this season. They have lost one game in 24 outings across the Champions League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup this year and collected the latter two trophies.

Real Madrid's journey has not been so smooth, but they have left a trail of true heavyweights in their wake. They finished ahead of Inter in the group stages, then came from behind, on aggregate, to defeat PSG, Chelsea and Manchester City to mark an incredible campaign.

Los Blancos manager Carlo Ancelotti has multiple scores to settle. He was AC Milan manager when Liverpool triumphed under miraculous circumstances in Istanbul while his Roma side suffered defeat to the Anfield outfit in the 1984 European Cup final during his playing days. If he needs any more motivation, Ancelotti managed Everton until last year.

Our prediction: Liverpool v Real Madrid

Ned Holmes

The biggest competition in European club football is heading for a mouthwatering conclusion as two clubs with bonafide European pedigree meet in Paris.

Real Madrid have come back from seemingly impossible positions time and time again during their run to the final but can they do so against a side with the quality and experience that the Reds boast.

The pair have met eight times in this competition previously, with Real Madrid winning four and Liverpool three, and the Spaniards may just make that five on Saturday.

It has felt as though they've had fate on their side in this competition in 2021/22 and another dramatic finish may allow Ancelotti to exact some revenge against Liverpool.

In terms of sheer mentality, could any team rival Liverpool or Real Madrid in world football? Liverpool have showed relentless grit to power through more than 60 games in 2021/22 and still look fresh.

Real Madrid's never-say-die attitude in the Champions League knockouts has been exhilarating for neutrals and refreshing to see modern football superstars pour every ounce of themselves into games.

However, I see a route to victory for Liverpool. Real Madrid haven't kept a clean sheet in six knockout games against some of the finest teams in the world. They've conceded 11 in six.

Manchester City knifed through their defence five times in the semi-finals and only lost the tie when their heads left the building. City, for all their superb qualities, don't have the pedigree, the know-how, when it comes to one-off games of this magnitude.

Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, Roberto Firmino... Whoever starts will find a way through Real Madrid and Liverpool will not crumble.

Liverpool 3-1 Real Madrid (14/1 at Bet365)
