Is Liverpool vs Real Madrid on TV? Champions League final kick-off time, channel and how to watch

Liverpool and Real Madrid meet in the Champions League final on Saturday evening in Paris.

Jurgen Klopp’s side’s quadruple dream came to an end last weekend as Manchester City won the Premier League title in dramatic circumstances, but Liverpool still have the chance to make it a hat-trick of trophies this season after already clinching the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.

There is little need for any added motivation but the scars of the 2018 final still loom large, with Mohamed Salah forced off through injury before Gareth Bale scored a spectacular overhead kick as Madrid sealed a 3-1 win.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side might require similar heroics at the Stade de France but Karim Benzema has already delivered plenty in a rollercoaster European campaign this season in which Madrid have knocked out PSG, Chelsea and Manchester City en route to the final.

Here is everything you need to know:

Real Madrid 1-3 Liverpool.
