Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund lock horns tonight as they go head to head for the biggest prize in European football – the UEFA Champions League trophy.
Carlo Ancelotti’s ‘Galacticos’ are going in search of a record 15th trophy in the coveted competition, to further stretch their lead as the side with the most Champions League silverware in their cabinet. AC Milan have seven, and they are second to Madrid.
Dortmund, on the other hand, are hoping to win their second-ever trophy in Europe’s elite league. Their maiden win came in 1997 against Juventus, where Karl-Heinz Riedle and Lars Ricken bagged goals to secure an historic victory.

Twenty-seven years on from that epic night at Olympiastadion in Munich, Edin Terzic’s Dortmund go into the game at Wembley as underdogs, and will be aiming to take the game to Madrid.
Like every other season, the Champions League final is being shown for free.
However, this year, things are slightly different.
How to watch Champions League final on your TV
Traditionally, European football finals are broadcasted by TNT Sports, formerly BT Sports, on YouTube. This has been done since 2016, but the broadcaster is changing things up this year.
The new home of TNT Sports is now Discovery+, a new streaming platform which includes the TNT Sports package amongst other TV shows.
Discovery+ are offering fans the chance to watch the final for free, but this time you will need to sign up for a free account with the service, instead of watching on YouTube.
Once your account is set up, you will have access to the match, but you will not get the pre-match build-up. The preamble will only be available to paying customers of TNT.
You can access Discovery+ through Amazon Prime and from there, you’ll be able to watch for free through your TV.
Sign up for a Discovery+ account here through Amazon here.
