How to watch Champions League final: TV channel, free live stream as kick-off delayed for Liverpool vs Real Madrid

Liverpool and Real Madrid head to Paris on Saturday (May 28) for the Champions League final at the Stade de France.

Jurgen Klopp' s side beat Villarreal to book a third Champions League final in five seasons with a 3-2 victory to complete a 5-2 aggregate win in the semi-finals.

In Real's semi-final second leg, the Spanish giants produced a surprising turnaround against Manchester City after trailing 5-3 on aggregate heading into the 90th minute. But after Rodrygo scored twice, Karim Benzema settled the match after Ruben Dias gifted Real a penalty sending them into the Champions League final on a 6-5 aggregate.

It is the third time Liverpool and Real have met in the European Cup final, after 1981 and 2018. But with Liverpool hunting for their third piece of silverware of the season, Mohamed Salah said the Reds have a “score to settle”.
