Football is the most seen and most popular sport worldwide. Liverpool and Real Madrid will meet in the Champions League final on Saturday. But both have some issues to fix if they are to walk away with the trophy. This is a meeting of the two of the most decorated clubs in the competition's history. The club giants Real Madrid have won  11 times Champions of Europe, 5 times of which were in the last 20 years. No team has won more European Cups than Real Madrid's and last year they become the first club to retain the title in the Champions League era. Only Real and AC Milan have won more European Cups than Liverpool. The five-time winners' most recent success came in an astonishing 2005 final against AC Milan. Liverpool has also not been in a Champions League final since 2007, nor won the competition since 2005. Hence many Bernabeu fans and pundits feel that their team, going for a fourth trophy in five years, are overwhelming favorites for Saturday's game. The Olympic National Sports Complex in Kiev, Ukraine is set to witness the most exciting finale of the year. Real Madrid if they are ready to take the cup this time it will be their hattrick and they will become the first club to do so. Liverpool on the other with their strong performance in the past look very strong contenders and if they play well together as a team then it will become very hard for Real Madrid. As always all eyes will be on Cristiano Ronaldo and this time  Mohamed Salah too.

The journey from the semi-final to final has not been easy for both teams and very close matches were fought in the semi-final. Zidane and Jurgen Klopp have experienced contrasting fortunes in finals. The former has won both of the Champions League finals he has been involved in as a boss. Meanwhile, Klopp has lost his previous five finals as a manage, including in the Europa League against Sevilla two seasons ago. The fact that Real were 19 points adrift of leaders and eventual champions Barcelona, led Zidane to say it was "clear" his future at the club depended on their progress in the Champions League.

Liverpool can win the Champions League final against Real Madrid if they play "almost the perfect game," Xabi Alonso, who represented both clubs, has said.

Real have not been as dominant as previous seasons, although they still managed to see off PSG, Juventus and Bayern Munich en route to the final and if Liverpool are to win, much will depend on their front three. Whatever the outcome sure the finale is going to be a great game and the team who plays better on that day will win.
