Liverpool takes on Real Madrid in the 2022 UEFA Champions League final on Saturday evening and the Reds will be looking to win the competition for the seventh time in their history.
Jurgen Klopp’s men narrowly missed out on the Premier League title on the final day and they will be fired up for this weekend’s magnum opus in Paris.
The Reds were beaten by Real Madrid in the final of the Champions League back in 2018 and the Premier League giants will be looking to avenge that defeat here.
Here at Sportslens, we take a look at Liverpool’s previous six Champions League wins.
