Tottenham vs Liverpool 21:00 SASTEnglish rivals Liverpool and Tottenham meet in Madrid for the UEFA Champions League title on Saturday night.
The Premier League duo have blazed a trail through the knockout stages, both reaching the final in barnstorming fashion.
Liverpool's staggering comeback win over Barcelona in the semi-finals at Anfield was one of the most magical nights the competition has seen.

They also complete an English clean sweep at the Wanda Metropolitano with fellow EPL clubs Chelsea and Arsenal going head-to-head in the Europa League final earlier in the week in Baku.
Not bad going for the only major domestic league not to take a mid-season break, not to mention Premier League champions Manchester City being conspicuous by their absence.
Liverpool look to go one betterFinalists a year ago, Liverpool were in serious danger of failing to make it past the pool stage this time around.
Only a final night edging out of Napoli saw them pip the Italian side to the second qualifying spot in Group C, finishing two points shy of a Paris Saint-Germain team they had beaten in their group opener at Anfield.
The knockouts have been a different story, with the Reds turning on the style on the continent.
Bavarian beasts Bayern Munich were stuffed 3-1 in their own back yard in the last 16, after a goalless first leg on Merseyside looked to have left the English side vulnerable.
It was even more straightforward against FC Porto in the quarter-finals, with a 2-0 first leg cakewalk paving the way for a 6-1 aggregate success.

It was the perfect way for Jurgen Klopp and Co to tee up their shot at going one better than last season's heartbreaking final defeat to Real Madrid.
Tottenham play their first UCL finalTottenham faced the same peril as their final opponents on the last match night of group stage action.
Mauricio Pochettino's side had looked dead and buried after taking just one point from their first three pool matches.

A three-goal salvo in the second half of their last 16 first leg clash against Borussia Dortmund ensured a comfortable passage to the quarter-final stage.
Then things went off the scale.
An away goals win over EPL champions Manchester City was secured after a thunderous 4-3 second leg defeat at the Etihad Stadium, with Raheem Sterling's would-be injury time winner ruled out by VAR.
No one seriously believed it could get any more dramatic but by jove it did.
Semi-final opponents Ajax had already knocked out Real Madrid and Juventus on a stirring run to the last four before taking a 1-0 lead back to Amsterdam from their first leg in London.

But up popped Lucas Moura with an incredible hat-trick the third coming in the sixth minute of injury time, no less to cap a comeback to rival that of their final opponents the previous night.
It can't possibly get any more dramatic in Madrid, can it?
