A Champions league success on May 29, will no doubt cap off a wonderful season for the Merseyside Reds having finished just one point behind Premier League champions Manchester City in the just-concluded English premiership season.

Real Madrid on the other hand literally cruised to La liga success in what had been one of their easiest campaigns in a long time.

Carlo Ancelotti's side finished the league with an incredible 13 point gap off second-placed Barcelona.

Carlo Ancelotti's team has also been one of the most incredible teams notably from the quarter finals of the Champions league this season, recording spectacular comebacks against the likes of PSG and Premier league champions Man City, eliminating the latter to book their place in the finals once again since 2018 - which they emerged as winners.
