• They are the first English club to play back-to-back Champions League finals since Manchester United in 2008 and 2009
• Tottenham Hotspur are playing in their first ever European Cup/Champions League final, and are the eighth different English side to do so. The last five first-time finalists have ended up on the losing side (Chelsea 2008, Arsenal 2006, Monaco 2004, Bayer Leverkusen 2002 and Valencia 2000).

• This is only the second all-English European Cup final (Manchester United v Chelsea in 2008 the other) and only the third in all European competition (the other was the 1972 UEFA Cup final between Tottenham and Wolves)
• Whoever wins will provide England with their 13th victory in this competition, moving them above Italy on 12 with only Spain (18) having more
• Liverpool and Tottenham have met just once before in Europe in the 1972-73 UEFA Cup semi-final. The Reds won 1-0 at Anfield thanks to Alec Lindsay's effort, and although Martin Peters scored twice for Spurs in the return leg, a Steve Heighway strike sent Liverpool through on away goals. Liverpool went on to lift the trophy
• Liverpool have lost just one of the last 14 meetings between the sides - the 4-1 league defeat at Wembley in October 2017
• Trent Alexander-Arnold, who made his senior debut against Spurs in a League Cup tie at Anfield in October 2016, could become the youngest Liverpool player to win a European Cup Final (20 years 237 days). He is set to become the youngest player to appear in successive finals

• In nine matches against Tottenham Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has lost once, with four victories and four draws
• Only Klopp, Bob Paisley, Don Revie, Bill Nicholson, Sir Alex Ferguson and Rafael Benitez have reached three or more European finals with English clubs
• Liverpool have conceded the first goal in each of their last four European Cup finals dating back to Juventus in 1985. They opened the scoring in their first four
• Sadio Mane is looking to become only the second Liverpool player (after Phil Neal) to score in two European Cup finals and the eighth player to score in more than one - the others being Gareth Bale, Samuel Eto'o, Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos, Raul, Mario Mandzukic and Cristiano Ronaldo

SADIO MANE ODDS: First goal: 4/1 | Last goal 4/1 | Anytime 6/4

• This is Tottenham's fifth European final (Cup-Winners' Cup 1963, UEFA Cup 1972, 1974 and 1984)
• Mauricio Pochettino suffered his first defeat as Spurs manager against Liverpool in August 2014 (3-0 at White Hart Lane). He has won three of 14 meetings, drawing four and losing seven

• Pochettino could become the third Argentinian manager to lift the trophy after Luis Carniglia (twice with Real Madrid) and Helenio Herrera (twice with Inter Milan)
• Victory for Tottenham would see them become the 23rd different team to lift the trophy and the 14th in the Champions League era. The last team to win the cup for the first time was Chelsea in 2012
• Should they win they will join Juventus, Ajax, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Manchester United as winners of all three major European competitions.
• Son Heung-min is the highest scoring Asian player in Champions League history (12 goals)

SON HEUNG-MIN ODDS: First goal 7/1 | Last goal 7/1 | Anytime 5/2

• This is the first Champions League final between two sides who both failed to win their respective groups since Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich in 2010.
• Liverpool won both of their league meetings with Spurs this season. In total, they’ve met at least three times in all competitions in 13 previous campaigns – Liverpool have only beaten Spurs three times in a single season in one of those (1985-86 – four times).
• The only previous meeting between Liverpool and Tottenham in a major final was in the 1982 English League Cup final, with the Reds coming from behind to win 3-1 after extra-time.

• Liverpool were the losing finalists in last season’s Champions League final – the last side to lose consecutive finals in the competition were Valencia in 2000 and 2001.
• This will be Tottenham’s first major final in any European competition since the 1984 UEFA Cup. They are looking to become just the third English side to win all three of the major UEFA tournaments after Chelsea and Manchester United (European Cup/Champions League, UEFA Cup/Europa League and Cup Winner’s Cup).
• Liverpool have lost their last four appearances in major domestic and European finals since winning the 2012 League Cup. Meanwhile, Spurs’ last major trophy win was also the League Cup (2008), losing their last two finals since then.
• Tottenham failed to win any of their opening three Champions League group stage games this season – they’ve become just the second side to do so and go on to reach the final after Inter Milan in 2010, who went on to win the trophy.
• Only FC Porto (10) have had more different goalscorers (excluding own goals) in this season’s Champions League than Liverpool (9).

• Liverpool forward Sadio Mane scored the Reds’ goal in their 1-3 defeat in last season’s Champions League final. He could become just the second Liverpool player to score in multiple European Cup/Champions League finals after Phil Neal (1977 and 1984).

• If Trent Alexander-Arnold starts for Liverpool, he’d be the first ever player aged under-21 to start in consecutive Champions League finals. The previous youngest is Christian Panucci with Milan in 1994 and 1995.
