Epic comebacks helped Liverpool and Tottenham secure their places in Madrid.

Tottenham and Liverpool will be part of history when they meet in the Champions League final.

The Premier League sides battle it out at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid on Saturday, three days after Chelsea beat Arsenal in the Europa League showpiece, making it the first time ever that all four European finalists have come from the same country.

It is also just the second all-English European Cup final, 11 years after Manchester United and Chelsea competed in Moscow.

Liverpool are back in the biggest game in European club football for the second successive year after they lost to Real Madrid last season and they chase a sixth crown.

Spurs, however, are in uncharted territory as this is the furthest they have ever gone in the competition, either in its guise as the European Cup, where they reached the semi-final in 1962, or the current Champions League format.

It is perhaps fitting that these two sides meet in the showpiece event, as although it is not quite the battle of the underdogs, both have had to get there the hard way.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men have been 10 minutes or less from going out of the competition on five occasions while Liverpool needed to beat Napoli in the final game to make it out of the group stage.
