The Merseysiders are also making their 10th trip to the final, a feat only surpassed by Madrid (16), Milan and Bayern Munich (11 each).
 
This is a repeat of the 2018 final, which saw the Spanish giants emerge 3-1 victors in Kyiv, where Karim Benzema (51') and Gareth Bale (63', 83') secured the Decimotercera for Real.
 
England's most successful club on the continent do boast one final victory over Los Merengues, having beaten them 1-0 at Parc des Princes in Paris in 1981, courtesy of Allan Kennedy's 82nd-minute goal.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp revealed that Divock Origi will not get the opportunity to cap off his career on Merseyside with a run-out in the final due to an injury, although Thiago Alcantara could still feature.
 
"Div is definitely out for the final because he [got] injured in the last second of the last session yesterday," Klopp said.
 
"He got a muscle injury, so five days will not be enough for him. Apart from that, I think all have a chance - and hopefully Thiago as well - and then we will prepare."

Matches - 7
Liverpool - 2
