The tournament winner may get $83 million , but the UEFA Champions League is not just about the money it's about soccer immortality, and two English Premier League teams are 90 minutes away from achieving it.

The 2019 UEFA Champions League final, the last match in an elite competition that pits the best against the best in Europe, is upon us, and will see nine-time finalist Liverpool FC attempt to tackle Tottenham Hotspur, a club that has never made it this far in the tournament's history.

Both teams have players capable of making an impact at both ends of the pitch thanks to solid defenses, intelligent midfields, and goal-hungry forwards.

And considering the ingenuinty that Liverpool and Spurs both have in attack, this match is begging for one of its strikers to stand out and make himself a hero, one that will be celebrated by its fans forever.

The race for a sixth Champions League trophy for Liverpool but a first for Spurs will be hotly contested, and it's a contest fans can watch live next weekend.

The 2019 UEFA Champions League final takes place in Madrid, Spain on Saturday, June 1.

Did you not see the semifinals?!

The two, two-legged semifinals earlier this month produced four of the most dramatic matches the Champions League has ever seen. After going 3-0 down in its first leg to FC Barcelona, Liverpool mounted a stunning four-goal comeback to dump Lionel Messi and Bara out of Europe.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp marvelled at his team in a post-match interview with BT Sport, calling Liverpool "f------ mentality giants," before adding: "Fine me! Fine me if you want."

Barcelona, humiliated in England, made such a hasty exit it left star forward Messi at Liverpool's stadium because he was taking too long to pee .

In the other semi, Tottenham was 3-0 down on aggregate at half-time in the second leg but miraculously survived thanks to a Lucas Moura hat trick . Moura's third goal was one of the final kicks of the night, and it sent the Spurs team, coaching staff, and fans into raptures.

Spurs manager Pochettino even cried .

So perhaps the question shouldn't be, "Why should I watch?" But rather, "Why shouldn't I watch?"
