What channel is the Champions League final on in Ireland? Kick-off time, TV coverage and more for Liverpool v Tottenham

Liverpool will know how to handle the pressure of their Champions League final against Tottenham this weekend - having experienced last year's tense showdown with Real Madrid .

The Reds have not won European club football's biggest prize since their memorable 2005 triumph which saw them mount a remarkable comeback to stun AC Milan.

They suffered heartbreak in Kiev last year as Real Madrid took advantage of two Loris Karius mistakes to seal a 3-1 victory and retain their crown.

Liverpool have produced another marvellous European run to book a spot in the final, this time taking on Premier League rivals Spurs in Madrid on Saturday.

Here's everything you need to know about the clash:

Where and when is it?

The game takes place at the Wanda Metropolitano, Madrid on Saturday June 1.

"I'm proud - very proud - but it's not a moment to feel it; it's a moment to really feel each muscle and it's important we really say, 'OK, come on, we need everything to do it because we want it'."

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino: "It's impossible to say that it's just another game.

"The great thing is that we're going to have three weeks to enjoy it; we're experiencing unique moments.

"Everyone is expecting a tactical battle, but emotions will be the deciding factor. We're two teams that know each other well, so no tactics are going to be a surprise. The emotional side is going to be fundamental.”
