Spurs and Liverpool will face off at the Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid
Liverpool narrowly missed out on the Premier League title and, after suffering defeat in Kiev last season, feel they deserve silverware for their exploits this season.
But Mauricio Pochettino’s resilient side are not here to make up the numbers in just the second all-English Champions League Final.
Spurs have defied the odds and battled back time and time again from adversity to reach Madrid, with their semi-final victory against Ajax a testament to their fortitude.
But they will have to do something they have never managed in their history in order to lift the famous trophy.
