    Underdogs Liverpool will lock horns against Zinedine Zidane‘s Real Madrid in the Champions League final in Kiev on May 26.

    Jurgen Klopp‘s side have beaten teams like Porto, Manchester City and AS Roma on their road to the final.

    And as we near what promises to be a high-voltage clash, here’s a look at some key stats and facts.

    – Liverpool can win the CC/CL for the sixth time, after 1977, 1978, 1981, 1984 and 2005.

    – On 27 May 1981, Liverpool won the trophy after beating Real Madrid 1-0 in the Parc des Princes in Paris, thanks to a goal by Alan Kennedy (82′).

    – Liverpool have reached the final of a European competition for the 13th time, most of all British clubs.

    – Liverpool (40 goals) are the leading Champions League goalscorers this campaign. Only FC Barcelona (45 in 1999/00) and Real Madrid (41 in 2013/14) netted more goals in a single CL season.

    Klopp, Manager of Liverpool speaks

    – Mohamed Salah can become the first player from Egypt to win the Champions League.

    – Salah (10), Firmino (10) and Mané (9) are Liverpool’s three leading Champions League goalscorers this season. This marks the first time a team has at least three different players score at least nine Champions League goals in a single campaign.

    – Trent Alexander-Arnold (19) can become the youngest Englishman to play in a Champions League final. Owen Hargreaves was 20 years old when he played for Bayern München against Valencia in 2001 (1-1, 5-4aps).

    – Klopp can become the first German manager to win a trophy with an English team.
