It all boils down to this: the 2021 Challenge Cup final between the mighty St Helens and the Castleford Tigers, gearing up to stage a huge upset on the big stage at Wembley Stadium.
Around 45,000 fans will file into Wembley for the showcase event less than a week after the Euro 2020 final and will be desperate to see their side lift silverware in the capital.
St Helens are one of the major players in Challenge Cup history, having triumphed 12 times in the competition, but they are desperate to end a drought this weekend.
They haven't succeeded in bringing the trophy home since 2008, the third in a trilogy of consecutive wins. They were toppled 18-4 in 2019 by Leeds Rhinos, their only final appearance in 13 years.
Castleford Tigers are the opponents tasked with extending St Helens' drought. They haven't won the Challenge Cup since 1986 and face a tough ask to secure silverware here.
St Helens currently sit second in the Super League with 10 wins from 12, while Castleford linger in eighth. The last meeting between the pair at the end of June ended in a 24-0 blowout victory for St Helens.
