Los Blancos are chasing their third successive Champions League crown having won it back-to-back in the last two seasons.

The Spanish giants became the first team to successfully defend the prize since the new format of the competition was introduced in 1992/93 season.

The last team to win the European Cup three times in succession was Bayern Munich which was between 1974-76.

The last time Real lost in the final of an European competition was in 1981 and ironically it was Liverpool.
