Champions League Final: Real Madrid vs Liverpool – watch live for free!

The Champions Leauge final is underway in Kiev – and if you’re out and about you can follow our live scores and updates here.

Gareth Bale was left on the bench with coach Zinedine Zidane preferring Isco to the Welshman.

As a result, the Real starting line-up is the same as that which took to the field in last year’s final, when the Spanish giants beat Juventus 4-1 in Cardiff.

Cristiano Ronaldo leads the attack as Real look to win the Champions League for the third season running, something no team has achieved since Bayern Munich in 1976.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp goes, as expected, with the same team that started the second leg of their semi-final against Roma.

Mohamed Salah, who has 44 goals in all competitions this season, has inspired the Anfield club on their run to a first Champions League final since 2007, when they lost to AC Milan in Athens.

Liverpool are looking to win their sixth European Cup overall — they beat Real 1-0 when the clubs met in 1981 in Paris.

Real are chasing a fourth Champions League title in five seasons, and a 13th European Cup overall. Zidane can become the first coach to win the Champions League three seasons running.

Things are already tense and if you’re bummed about missing out, don’t be.

If you’re at home and you want to watch the action, though, you can do so – provided you have the data and live in South Africa.
