Liverpool vs Real Madrid live stream

Liverpool vs Real Madrid live stream: how to watch the 2022 Champions League final – date, time, tickets, team news What Hi-Fi? Liverpool against Real Madrid in the 2022 Champions League final just feels right. Two of Europe's most storied clubs, with 19 European crowns between them, duking it out on the biggest stage of all is the perfect end to the UEFA club season. This will be the third time these teams have met in the final – Liverpool won in 1981, while Madrid lifted Old Big Ears in 2018 – and scarcely has there been so much narrative. Make sure you know how to watch a Liverpool vs Real Madrid live stream from anywhere. Mo Salah seems hellbent on personal revenge after his final was ended prematurely by Sergio Ramos' wrestling manoeuvre in 2018. It doesn't even seem to matter that Ramos is now at PSG. The Reds' Egyptian King said: "We have a score to settle." Madrid, meanwhile, want a 14th European title and have spent much of the week trying to paint themselves as underdogs after Karim Benzema's claim that Liverpool "think they've already won". A visceral counter-pressing unit against a ruthless team on the break with the world's best centre-forward. This could get spicy. Here are all the details you need to know for the 2022 Champions League final. 2022 Champions League final date Liverpool vs Real Madrid in the 2022 Champions League final is an 8pm BST kick-off on Saturday 28th May. That's 3pm ET in the States and 5am AEST Australia. Liverpool team news liverpool (Image credit: Flickr: Ben Sutherland) Liverpool are sweating on a number of injury doubts ahead of the final. Top scorer Mo Salah and talismanic defender Virgil van Dijk limped out of the FA Cup final a fortnight ago, but both are expected to recover after starting last weekend's 3-1 victory over Wolves on the bench, a game in which Salah came on to score and share the Premier League Golden Boot with Tottenham's Son Heung-min. Defensive midfielder Fabinho has trained this week and is expected to recover from his muscle injury to play a part. Joe Gomez should also be fit enough to take his place on the bench after an ankle knock. The biggest concern is midfielder Thiago, who injured his Achilles in the first half against Wolves. The Spaniard's early prognosis is "not good" according to manager Jurgen Klopp, who faces an anxious wait to find out if his conductor will be fit. Elsewhere, the team picks itself. Klopp's only dilemmas are whether to start Luis Días or Diogo Jota in the front three alongside Salah and Sadio Mané, and who from Joel Matip or Ibrahima Konaté will partner Van Dijk at centre-back. Konaté has tended to start in the Champions League but Matip's experience may earn him the nod.

The Italian coach's main doubt is whether defender David Alaba will fit enough to start after missing the past month with a hamstring problem. The Austrian has always seen Paris as his target and has returned to training but his lack of match practice may count against him. Nacho will partner Eder Militão at centre-back if Alaba misses out. Ancelotti's other decision will be whether to start Rodrygo or Fede Valverde down the right flank. The former exploded off the bench to overturn Manchester City in the semi-final but will likely have to bide his time again, with Valverde likely to feature in a narrow right-sided role. Captain Karim Benzema – two goals from equalling Cristiano Ronaldo's record for most goals in a single Champions League season (17) – Luka Modric, Dani Carvajal, Casemiro, Toni Kroos, Vinícius Junior and Thibaut Courtois will all start. Gareth Bale has missed the past six weeks with a back complaint but may make the bench, alongside the lesser-spotted Eden Hazard. Where is the 2022 Champions League final? 2022 Champions League Final board (Image credit: Getty Images / FRANCK FIFE) Liverpool take on Real Madrid in the 2022 Champions League final at the Stade France in Saint-Denis, Paris. Built on an old chemical works to the north of the city centre, the stadium was erected for the 1998 World Cup, hosting the final where France beat Brazil 3-0. It has also hosted the 2007 Rugby World Cup final, the Euro 2016 final and two previous Champions League finals in 2000 and 2006. Bad news, Liverpool fans, Spanish teams won both those games – Real Madrid 2-0 against Valencia in the former, and Barcelona beat Arsenal 2-1 in the latter. Of course, the game was originally intended to be held at the Gazprom Arena in Saint Petersburg, but Russia's invasion of Ukraine meant UEFA changed the venue to Paris. Are there any 2022 Champions League final tickets left?

Some 52,000 of the 75,000 capacity of the Stade de France in Paris went to fans – just under 20,000 each to Liverpool and Real Madrid, with 12,000 sold to football fans around the world on a UEFA.com (opens in new tab) ballot. The remaining 23,000 go to the nebulously titled 'UEFA family', comprising national associations, commercial partners, broadcasters and the European governing body's hospitality programme. There are, however, a couple of options if you're desperate (and either very lucky or rich) to watch the final in person. Keep an eye out for competitions to enter online from Champions League sponsors in the build up to the event. Your only other option is to try your luck on a ticket resale website. But be warned, the cheapest tickets are going for £1,750 (opens in new tab) on Live Football Tickets and the authenticity of the tickets may be, let's say, dubious. Some Liverpool fans who tried to sell their final tickets on social media have had their entries cancelled by the club, so be careful when parting with your hard-earned.
