Madrid comes into this game off one of the craziest comebacks in Champions League history. Madrid trailed Premier League Champions, Manchester City, 5-3 on aggregate before substitute Rordygo scored in the 90th minute and in stoppage time to force overtime. From there, Karim Benzema drew a penalty and slotted the kick home as Madrid advanced to the Champions League Final.
Liverpool entre the final after just coming up short of the Premier League title. Liverpool needed Manchester City to lose or draw Aston Villa, along with a Liverpool victory over Wolves to claim the title. Unfortunately, Manchester City scored three times in the last 14 minutes to claim a 3-2 win over Villa after trailing 2-0 and went on to win the match. Now the Reds will need to refocus as they can still collect the third piece of silverware after already defeating Chelsea in the FA Cup and Carabao Cup.
