UEFA Champions League Final: Liverpool’s 63rd game of the season could well be their biggest and most important. They’ve won the League Cup and FA Cup already. The Reds finished the Premier League just a point behind eventual champions Manchester City. But they could achieve a treble, a rarity in European football, if they beat Real Madrid in Paris on Saturday.

“Without the Champions League it would be a great season. With the Champions League it would be a fantastic season,” said Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
