This should be an absolute cracker.

Liverpool will be crowned champions of Europe for a sixth time if they can pick up a win against Real Madrid this evening. This being said, Zidane’s side are the kings of Europe for a reason and they’ll be aiming for a historic three-in-a-row of European titles.

Prior to the game, Klopp said that he had no fresh injury problems before Liverpool’s final training session and here’s how the ‘Pool will line out in Kiev.

Emre Can, who has not featured since mid-March, is named on the bench after recovering from a back injury.

As for Real Madrid, the big question surrounded Gareth Bale and Zidane has opted to put him on the bench.

The Wales forward was a substitute in both legs of the semi-final against Bayern Munich and that hasn’t changed.

The defending champions have opted for a front three of Benzema, Isco and Ronaldo – a man that has hit 15 goals so far in the Champions League season.

This should be a cracker.
