Liverpool will be aiming to banish the pain of Kyiv 12 months ago and make that one last step to win the Champions League trophy this time.
They are up against a Tottenham side, who have written their own fairy tale story so far, more so after staging a miraculous come back at Ajax.
Jurgen Klopp’s men reached the final last year as well but were dealt with a slightly unfortunate defeat at the hands of Real Madrid.
