Liverpool travel to Paris to take on Real Madrid in the Champions League final aiming for a 50th win of the season and a seventh European Cup.

Jürgen Klopp's men are looking to lift their third trophy of 2021-22 at Stade de France, with Los Blancos standing in their way.

Take a look at our statistical preview ahead of the 8pm BST kick-off on Saturday night…

This will be the 67th staging of the European Cup final and the fifth that will be contested between teams from England and Spain.

The Reds have previously lifted 'Ol' Big Ears' in 1977, 1978, 1981, 1984, 2005 and 2019.

The European Cup trophy is 73.5cm tall (29 inches) and weighs 7.5kg.

Of their 12 European games this season, Liverpool have won 10, with one draw and one defeat.

Six key moments on Liverpool's road to Paris

UCL finalSix key moments on Liverpool's road to ParisAhead of Saturday's Champions League final, we take a look back at six key moments on Liverpool's journey to the Paris showpiece.

They have won all six Champions League matches played away from Anfield, scoring 18 times and conceding on just seven occasions.

Liverpool could record their 50th victory of the campaign, their most ever in a single season. Their previous best was 43 in 2019-20.

The Reds have met Real eight times in history (all in this competition) – winning the first three (including the 1981 final) and losing the next four encounters before an Anfield draw last season.

Liverpool are the first English club ever to reach the final of the Carabao Cup, Emirates FA Cup and Champions League in the same season.

Alisson Becker is the only player to start all 12 games for the Reds in Europe this season, with Fabinho, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah also featuring in every match.

This will be Klopp's fourth Champions League final as a manager, the same number as Marcello Lippi and Sir Alex Ferguson. Only Carlo Ancelotti, who has reached his fifth, has appeared in more.

Salah has scored 31 goals this season. Only once, in his first season (44 goals in 2017-18), has he scored more in a single campaign. He also scored 31 goals last season.

This is Real Madrid's 52nd European Cup campaign – more than any other team. They have lifted the trophy 13 times.

Klopp has faced Real Madrid nine times during his career, winning three, losing four and drawing two – the first six being with Borussia Dortmund.

Liverpool are the first ever Champions League finalist to only play opponents from three different nations in a season, including the final.

The Reds are three goals short of recording 150 this season.
