Liverpool vs. Real Madrid: 2022 UEFA Champions League final live stream, how to watch, odds, time

Two sides with extensive history in world soccer's premier club competition – Liverpool and Real Madrid – will meet in the UEFA Champions League final in Paris on Saturday.

Real Madrid – which boasts a record 13 UEFA Champions League titles – has reached the final for the first time in four years.

Liverpool is back in the final after winning the tournament three years ago.

It was in Real Madrid's last Champions League final appearance where it knocked off Liverpool to lift the trophy. It was a painful experience for Liverpool's goal-scoring talisman Mohamed Salah. Salah was injured in the first half of the 2018 final in Kyiv, Ukraine, then watched his team lose 3-1 as Real Madrid won a third consecutive Champions League title.

Real Madrid's Karim Benzema has built a strong case to win the Ballon d’Or with his prowess in this Champions League season, during which he scored an astonishing 15 goals in 11 matches (with 10 of those goals coming during the tournament's knockout stages). Benzema was also the leading goal-scorer for the 2021-22 La Liga season with 27 goals.

With a win, Real Madrid can extend its healthy lead for most UEFA Champions League titles over Italian club AC Milan, which has seven. If Liverpool wins, it can vault into a tie with AC Milan for the second-most all-time.
