It was probably one of the biggest surprises of the 2018/19 Champions League season: Real Madrid were already eliminated in the round of 16 against Ajax Amsterdam. The young and cheeky team of coach Erik ten Hag brought the record winner from Madrid to his knees. Real won the first leg in Amsterdam 2-1, but were defeated 4-1 in the second leg in Santiago Bernabeu.
Tottenham Hotspur and FC Liverpool now benefit from this early royal slip and face each other in the final. It is therefore certain that the Champions League winner will not come from Spain for the first time since 2014, but from England. The final match will be broadcast by pay-TV channel Sky and streaming service DAZN.

Real Madrid have caused a sensation in the premier league in recent years. The royals were not only the first team in Champions League history to defend the title, they also won the coveted Henkel pot a third time in a row the following year.
In 2016, the great power demonstration of the Madrileneans began. Real Madrid beat Atletico on penalties in the city derby and celebrated their eleventh title win in the competition. In the two following years, Real won much more confidently: 2017 with 4-1 against Juventus Turin and 2018 with 3-1 against this year’s finalist FC Liverpool.
Real: Benzema (51.); Bale (64., 83.)
Liverpool: Mane (55.)
Juventus: Mandzukic (27.)
Real: Ronaldo (20th, 64th); Casemiro (61st); Asensio (90th)
Real: Ramos (15th),
Atletico: Carrasco (79.)
The royals have already won the Champions League 13 times. But probably the most important final triumph in the club’s recent history took place in 2014, when twelve years after winning the trophy for the ninth time, Real Madrid claimed their long-awaited tenth title: La Decima.
In a tight game, Sergio Ramos Real headed into extra time just before the end, before Gareth Bale, Marcelo and Cristiano Ronaldo scored the final score of 4-1 and sealed the end of the long dry spell.
