Real Madrid and Liverpool will face off in the final of the 2017-18 Champions League tonight.
Defending champions Madrid are aiming to win the competition for a third consecutive season, whle Liverpool are looking for their sixth European crown and a first in 13 years.
Neither side managed to finish in the top two of their domestic leagues, but victory on the grandest stage would more than compensate for the lack of a league title.
The final will be played at the NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium or Olympic Stadium in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. While the stadium can hold more than 70,000 spectators, UEFA says the "net capacity" for the final will be 63,000.
The ground hosted the Euro 2012 final between Spain and Italy, a match which starred current Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos. His opposite number at Liverpool, Jordan Henderson, and vice-captain James Milner, played there in England's quarterfinal defeat to the Italians in the same tournament.
The match kicks off on Saturday, May 26 at 21:45 local time.
