I think the next frontier for us is going to be doing road games [and] taking the studio on the road — go to Germany, go to Barcelona, go to Italy.

Real Madrid and Liverpool will square off on Saturday in Paris. The game is a rematch of the 2018 final.

Real Madrid is in the final for the fifth time since 2014; in each of its previous four visits since 2014, its fans will quickly point out, it has left with the trophy. In that sense, Liverpool is probably the toughest test Madrid could have faced in the final. But the nature of the way the team plays, conjuring those irresistible surges, is not. Real Madrid has been able to snatch victory from defeat against three of the best-equipped opponents in Europe because its players believe in the club’s almost mystical refusal to wilt. But Madrid has been helped by the fact that the opposition are inclined to believe it, too. The final also was the first time that Pérez and the UEFA president, Aleksander Ceferin, met in person since a Pérez-led effort to create a European Super League failed spectacularly just over a year ago. Instead, the tournament organizer, UEFA, and city officials hosted fans of the rival teams in separate venues closer to the city limits. Yes, in a way. To win its seventh European Cup on Saturday, Liverpool will have to break that sequence. Paris was easily able to absorb the influx of fans, though in its usual tourist hot spots there was little sign that soccer’s biggest game was in town. Paris St.-Germain almost looked as if it were waiting for the wave to crash. Real Madrid, which won the Spanish league this year, is chasing a record 14th Champions League title after narrowly dodging elimination in the semifinals.

Liverpool will be seeking to cap a remarkable season by avenging their 2018 Champions League final defeat, a 3-1 loss to Real Madrid in Kyiv. The fan zone for #LFCfans will be on Cours de Vincennes in Paris' 12th arrondissement. "I'll just find a place in the city and watch the game." But the Spanish giants have their sights set on a 14th European Cup triumph. "I'm going to have a look around and see if I can get a ticket, but obviously not pay too much," one English fan told a reporter outside the venue. The pitch was then laid over the course of 48 hours.

Traders say the city is "the next best thing to Paris" ahead of the Champions League final.

Merseyside Police said the weekend was "set to be a busy one" and predicted "large numbers of people" travelling to the city.

Retail complex Liverpool ONE said it anticipated the weekend to be "the busiest of the year" for visitor numbers as fans flock to the city. Mayor of Liverpool, Joanne Anderson, agreed there was a "real buzz" in the city "regardless of the outcome". Peter Hunter, one of the directors for Liverpool's Baltic Triangle, said the final was both a "mood and trade" boost for the city. With excitement building, Liverpool has been described as "the next best thing to being in Paris".

"There the substitute has more space and that's where the player who entered later can decide the match -- that's what happened with me in the other knockout rounds. "I think the coach is making it a little easier because we have players who are very close friends, we're friends too and this helps a lot. "The team will be [most important] for both, they're not just individuals attacking and defending; both teams are teams, from attackers to midfielders and defenders. "We've been through Paris [Saint-Germain], Chelsea and yes, they're great teams, but Liverpool is also there, it's a great team. Liverpool are maybe small favorites but I believe with Madrid, they always play finals, they always know the way to play finals and win. In an attempt to offer an explanation, Real defender Nacho simply said there was "magic" at the Bernabeu on nights such as those.

“It is a great success for all of us to be here. “I’m more than happy and proud of what we did so far, it’s really special. “He has more personality and leadership on and off the field now but what has not changed is his quality and he remains as humble as ever,” said Ancelotti, who won the 2014 Champions League with Real in his first spell as coach. Around 40,000 Liverpool fans without tickets for the game are also expected to be in Paris, while around seven thousand police will be on duty as part of a massive security operation. The final promises to be a fitting climax to the European season, with Liverpool looking to win a second Champions League in four seasons since losing 3-1 to Real in Kyiv in 2018, when Mohamed Salah went off injured in the first half and Gareth Bale scored twice for the Spaniards.

Thousands of soccer fans are descending on Paris to see Liverpool and Real Madrid meet in the Champions League final.

We play this final for all the people, not only but as well, for all the people in Ukraine.” “Let’s see it like this, that the game still happens and is not in St Petersburg maybe is exactly the right message which Russia should get. “The war is still going on . . . and we have to think about that,” Klopp said. Not this time due to the pandemic but Russia’s invasion of Ukraine which saw St. Petersburg stripped of hosting rights. “We are very close to achieving something huge this season, and we will give our all to achieve it,” Ancelotti said. While the Premier League was missed out on by a single point last weekend, the season can end with a rare treble of trophies, having already won the FA Cup and the League Cup.

PARIS (AP) — Thousands of soccer fans were descending on Paris to see Liverpool and Real Madrid meet in the Champions League final later Saturday.

We play this final for all the people, not only but as well, for all the people in Ukraine.” “Let’s see it like this, that the game still happens and is not in St Petersburg maybe is exactly the right message which Russia should get. “The war is still going on . . . and we have to think about that,” Klopp said.

The clash between the European heavyweights is both an exciting match-up and a sign of the times.

However, some reports are not focusing on Salah. Instead, they are talking up the battle between Real’s Vinícius Júnior and Reds full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold. The former is rapid, meaning Alexander-Arnold will need to look over his shoulder when supporting the attack. The teams’ run to the final has depended on various individuals peaking in the right moments. Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah was unstoppable during the first half of the season, and just as his goals have dried up slightly, Sadio Mané and Luis Díaz have stepped up in the final third. They have never won the Champions League. With exceptional players and a world-class coach—especially in City’s case—they can. Real and Liverpool have done so 19 times between them, and the ticker will strike 20 when either Marcelo or Jordan Henderson—possible captains on the night—lifts the prize at the Stade de France. Factoring in the amount PSG could have received from Real, alongside its longer-term expenditure to keep Mbappé, holding onto its brightest young player has meant an approximate $400 million hit, the New York Times reasoned.

We know very well the demands at this club, the history, but for us to get here is huge," said Ancelotti, who last year was in charge of Liverpool's local rivals Everton. Liverpool look to have the stronger side on paper, with Alisson in goal, Virgil van Dijk marshalling their defence and Salah and Sadio Mane leading their attack. The Anfield club can win their seventh European Cup, a tally that would see them go level with AC Milan and leave only Real with more victories.
