In a sensational season, Liverpool have already won League Cup and FA Cup, and finished second in the Premier League by a point. A win against Real Madrid will complete a treble, which will still be a massive feat even for a club steep in history. Liverpool are six-time continental champions, with the last of those coming in the 2018-19 season under Klopp.
Real Madrid are the European royalty in every sense. The club's emblem itself is adorned with a crown on its crest, with the blessings from King Alfonso XIII himself in 1920. The name 'Real' itself means Royal. Add 13 Champions League titles to their roll, and it truly becomes royal. And in Carlo Ancelotti, they have the Boss himself - arguably the most successful coach in club football.
Sunday's final at Stade de France, which was originally scheduled to be held in Saint Petersburg, Russia, will be a third meeting in the final between Liverpool and Real Madrid. Liverpool won in 1980-81 (1-0 in Paris), while Real Madrid won in 2017-18 (3-1 in Kyiv).
Mohamed Salah has already admitted that Liverpool have a "score to settle" against Real Madrid. An injured Salah left the field in tears four years ago following a challenge from the then Madrid captain Sergio Ramos. Besides the Egyptian, the match will also witness some of the finest talents in world football.
But the clash is much more than the players and their goals. It will be a meeting between two different coaches. Jurgen Klopp's so-called "heavy metal football," accentuated by his own touchline theatrics, is poles apart from Carlo Ancelotti's seemingly carefree approach.
