Liverpool and Mohamed Salah, the Egyptian striker whose goals took his side to the Champions League final, hope their brand of attacking football can prevent Real Madrid from becoming kings of Europe for the third year in a row on Saturday. Liverpool's trio of Mohamed Salah (10), Roberto Firmino (10) and Sadio Mane (9) have scored more goals than any other trio at a club in a single Champions League campaign, overtaking Real Madrid's threesome of Cristiano Ronaldo (17), Gareth Bale (6) and Karim Benzema (5) in 2013-14.

Real Madrid are the first team since Juventus (1996-1998) to reach three consecutive European Cup/Champions League finals, while they could become the first team to win it three years in a row since Bayern Munich (1974-1976). Cristiano Ronaldo is the Champions League's all-time leading scorer - with 120 goals, Real Madrid's all-time top scorer and a four-time winner of the competition. Salah has been performing none too badly this season (43 goals in all competitions) and having picked up the Professional Footballers Association player of the year, he then added to that with the Football Writers' Association Player of the Year If Liverpool went on to win this and Salah then helped Egypt go a fair distance in the World Cup, you couldn't rule him out of being right in the running for a very shiny, spherical, golden award come the year end.
It would be Liverpool in the Champions League final for the first time in 11 years, against Real Madrid in Kiev, Ukraine, on May 26. Roma's time had run out. Two of European football's most successful clubs will meet in the Champions League final when Real Madrid face Liverpool in Kiev. The five-times European champions, who will face holders Real Madrid in the May 26 final, twice took the lead but were forced to hang on in the second half as Roma created chances before Radja Nainggolan's two late goals put the hosts ahead on the night.
Now the 16-time European champions from the Spanish capital face the five-time winners from the northwestern English port city on Saturday, May 26, at 70,000-seat Olimpiyskiy National Sports Complex in Kiev, Ukraine, where Real Madrid will attempt to become the first three-peat champions since the Champions League era began with the 1991-1992 season. But both sides have been in rude scoring form this season in this competition with 11 of Madrid's last 12 European games going OVER 2.5 GOALS, while 12 of Liverpool's 14 also produced 3+ goals.
