Liverpool vs Real Madrid preview

Jurgen Klopp's side may be favourites, yet Real Madrid have an aura around them in this competition as underlined by their extraordinary comebacks against PSG, Chelsea and Manchester City in the knockout rounds.

Los Blancos have not kept a clean sheet since the group stages, but the combination of relentless self-belief and superb attacking players means they have been able to find goals at the most opportune moments.

Liverpool also boast some of the continent's best forwards but have conceded in five of their last seven games in the competition and it is difficult to envisage a final without goals at both ends.
