In the Zone: Champions League final tactical analysis (UEFA.com)

UEFA's Technical Observer panel casts an expert eye over Saturday's UEFA Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid.

Amid the incredible late drama that Madrid have scripted on their path to this final, they have also sought to make an early impact in matches with inventive kick-off routines. Three white shirts went in instant pursuit of the ball as Paris restarted at 2-1; they won it back and, in a flash, Benzema had his hat-trick. Back in 2018/19 the UEFA Champions League technical report highlighted Salah’s five shots on goal from set-plays cleared to the edge of the penalty box. In the following round, Ibrahima Konaté highlighted his aerial menace with strikes from corners in both legs against Benfica. As the heatmap of Alexander-Arnold’s touches underlines, he is ever more involved in the opposition half. As well as four assists, Alexander-Arnold has completed more crosses (23) than any other player in the 2021/22 competition, while Robertson (two assists) ranks joint-fourth in that category with 16.

Thiago injury risk leaves Liverpool facing Champions League Final ... (Mirror.co.uk)

Thiago limped off against Wolves and Jurgen Klopp must now hope the midfielder recovers to face Real Madrid in the Champions League final in Paris.

Klopp has always wanted his players to show their fitness with a full training session before any game, but the clock is already ticking on that, with the midfielder now forced to rest the injury for several days. But given the proximity of the final, with just five days before the showpiece occasion with Real Madrid, that leaves little time for treatment to the Achilles, which is likely to be a Grade 1 injury, often referred to as tendonitis. After scans on Monday morning, the problem is not thought to be serious, with fears completely eased over a rupture to the Achilles, which would require surgery and rule the player out for several months.

UEFA Champions League final: When is it, who's favoured and how ... (The Athletic)

On Saturday, May 28 Liverpool will face Real Madrid in the 2022 Champions League final. Months of hard work, determination and improbable results will come ...

Once again, Benzema was the hero for Real Madrid, scoring from the spot in extra time. Ancelotti’s side were stunned at the Bernabeu, though, as Chelsea went 3-0 up with 15 minutes left to play. There, they met Chelsea, who had defeated them in the semi-finals of last season’s competition. Unai Emery’s Villarreal awaited Liverpool in the semi-finals, a tie which appeared foregone after an impressive 2-0 home victory in the first leg. In previous years, BT have made the Champions League (and Europa League) final available to watch for free on YouTube, but no announcement has yet been made on that. Real Madrid lost the first leg in Paris 1-0 and then conceded just before half-time in the return fixture at the Bernabeu. Just as it looked as though they were down and out, a sensational second-half hat-trick from captain Karim Benzema secured a place in the quarter-finals. Two first-half goals from Villarreal in the return fixture then jolted Liverpool into life, who secured their place in the final with three goals of their own after the break. Liverpool fans who want to leave England on Friday for a night in Paris before the match will have to pay for the privilege — a seat on the 7.25pm Easyjet flight costs £605.99, with flights the following morning just under £500. Liverpool supporters hoping to travel to Paris to watch their team play in the Champions League final against Real Madrid face huge sums to get there, with direct flights between north England and Paris exceeding £600. For this year’s final, 20,000 seats in the Stade de France will be allocated to fans of each of Liverpool and Real Madrid, with applicants able to buy two tickets. The 80,000-seater stadium hosted the Champions League final in 2000 and 2006, as well as the finals of Euro 2016 and the 1998 World Cup. As a result, this year’s final was due to take place at the original host of the 2021 final, Zenit Saint Petersburg’s Gazprom Arena, with the Allianz Arena to host the showpiece event in 2023.
