Will the Champions League tie from tradition to the present once again be 'sharp' with Real Madrid or coach Juergen Klopp will change the 'bad luck' in consecutive successive finals?
As soon as the European Cup was born, Real Madrid has confirmed the game was born for them. Five consecutive championships (from 1955/56 to 1959/60), an indisputable record associated with a great lineup dominated by two 'fighters': Jose Villalonga (1954-1957) and Luis Carniglia (1957-1959)
The Los Blancos seem to be unlucky in the Champions League seasion, however they continue to confirm their "power" after that. Three championships in five years (1998-2002) followed by three wins in four years (2014-2017). 1 time to win the Champion League was difficult, but the white vultures do this the ... 12 times.
At each stage, Real Madrid have all the right symbols for their glory in the Champions League / European Cup. 1950s of the 20th century they have Di Stefano. In the 1998-2002 season they had Raul Gonzalez and now Cristiano Ronaldo.
Di Stefano still holds the record of most goalscorer (5 goals). Raul Gonzales has long been the greatest striker in the Champions League history before being overtaken by Ronaldo.
But since English football was banned in the European Cups after the Heysel disaster (the 1984/85 UEFA Cup final that Liverpool lost 0-1 to Juventus), the Reds lost them position in the Merseyside. British Football League (renamed Premier League since 1992/93 season) and the European Cup (renamed Champions League since 1993/94 season).
It was not until 2004/05 that Liverpool came to the finals again and made one of the biggest leaps in the history of the Champion League (winning AC Milan on penalties after being led 3-0 in the Premier League in 1st half).
Two years later, Liverpool once again featured in the final battle. But on the night of Athens, they were beaten convincingly by AC Milan (striker Filippo Inzaghi scored twice to help Milan regain a 2-1 success)
After 11 years, the Anfield club is playing the Champions League final. But standing in front of coach Juergen Klopp is 'mountain' called Real Madrid is dominated by 'powerful generals' Zinedine Zidane.
Even when turned to coaching career, Zizou also achieved initial success than that of elder Germans. Klopp started his career at Mainz 05 and had to resign in 2008, a year after the club was relegated. Meanwhile, Zidane took over Real Madrid immediately won two Champions League cups and one in La Liga.
Achievement in the finals is the difference between Klopp and Zidane. Kloop lost to 5/6 finals (and that was 5 consecutive losses). The worst is Dortmund's 1-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the 2012/13 Champions League final at Wembley.
Zizou is the opposite. He won all the finals that Real Madrid contributed. He even managed to win 8 titles (2 Champions League, 1 La Liga, 1 Spanish Super Cup, 2 European Super Cup and 2 FIFA Club World Cup) after less than 2 years of holding (a record of World Football).
Mohamed Salah is going through the most successful season of his career. The Premier League Golden Boot (32 goals - a record of the league), 10 goals and 5 assists to make a big contribution to Liverpool for the first time in the Champions League final 11 years ... are numbers can not be more convincing.
But everything would be meaningless if Salah and his teammates could not be crowned in Kiev on the morning of May 27. Not only can not help the teacher Klopp 'breaking down' finalists but he himself significantly less significant before Ronaldo himself in the race for the 2018 Golden Ball as well as the best player in Europe in 2017/18.
Champions League final this season is an opportunity for Egyptian star proved that he was the future of world football. If he helps Liverpool to win, he contributes to the CR7's speeding back into the past.
Not to mention luck always accompany Ronaldo and team-mates in the recent championship as well as on cruise finalists 2017/18 season. They experienced the 'live in fear' before Juventus and Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals and semi-final. And equally important: in the hands of coach Zidane have big players always know how to shine at the right time.
So if Liverpool can not do something so special in Kiev on the 27th of May, they will continue to carry the losers in the final from their coach.
Real Madrid: The aura is still sparkling
From the past to the present, from the European Cup to the UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid is a true King. And when it comes to club success, excellence in league history, that name spontaneously appears first for all.As soon as the European Cup was born, Real Madrid has confirmed the game was born for them. Five consecutive championships (from 1955/56 to 1959/60), an indisputable record associated with a great lineup dominated by two 'fighters': Jose Villalonga (1954-1957) and Luis Carniglia (1957-1959)

Di Stefano still holds the record of most goalscorer (5 goals). Raul Gonzales has long been the greatest striker in the Champions League history before being overtaken by Ronaldo.
Liverpool: The years of up and down
Liverpool also have a golden age in general and in the European Cup in particular. That is when they won three times in four seasons (1976/77, 1977/78 and 1980/81). This period is associated with the legend of Kenny Dalglish.But since English football was banned in the European Cups after the Heysel disaster (the 1984/85 UEFA Cup final that Liverpool lost 0-1 to Juventus), the Reds lost them position in the Merseyside. British Football League (renamed Premier League since 1992/93 season) and the European Cup (renamed Champions League since 1993/94 season).

Klopp vs Zidane two opposite extremes
Klopp during his career as a player in the form of ... midrange and not mentioned too much. In contrast, Zidane is an undisputed myth of Real Madrid, France in particular and football in general.
Achievement in the finals is the difference between Klopp and Zidane. Kloop lost to 5/6 finals (and that was 5 consecutive losses). The worst is Dortmund's 1-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the 2012/13 Champions League final at Wembley.
Zizou is the opposite. He won all the finals that Real Madrid contributed. He even managed to win 8 titles (2 Champions League, 1 La Liga, 1 Spanish Super Cup, 2 European Super Cup and 2 FIFA Club World Cup) after less than 2 years of holding (a record of World Football).
Ronaldo vs. Salah: Present and Future
Ronaldo has won so much glory, especially in Europe's most prestigious tournament. He has countless goals in the field and does not need to prove much. But, after all, he is still the No. 1 hope of Real Madrid on the journey to become the first club and only two times successfully defended the 'throne' in the Champions League as well as three consecutive championships.
But everything would be meaningless if Salah and his teammates could not be crowned in Kiev on the morning of May 27. Not only can not help the teacher Klopp 'breaking down' finalists but he himself significantly less significant before Ronaldo himself in the race for the 2018 Golden Ball as well as the best player in Europe in 2017/18.
Champions League final this season is an opportunity for Egyptian star proved that he was the future of world football. If he helps Liverpool to win, he contributes to the CR7's speeding back into the past.
