Groundstaff are out and the sprinklers are on all over Wanda Metropolitano - the pitch looks perfect but it is getting a real hosing down.

No surprises in the Liverpool team. Roberto Firmino is fit and Jurgen Klopp's tried and trusted midfield trio of captain Jordan Henderson, Gini Wijnaldum and Fabinho gets the nod.

Atmosphere building nicely after an intense and celebratory build-up in Madrid city centre.

Rio Ferdinand on BT Sport says Harry Kane's inclusion is a "...massive, massive call, a huge gamble. To see him the squad, in the changing room is a huge boost."

Has anyone ever scored a hat-trick in a semi-final and been dropped for the final?

The big news is obviously Harry Kane in for Lucas Moura. The striker has been out since 9 April with ligament damage, 54 days ago.

Dele Alli and Jan Vertonghen recovered from knocks as expected. Danny Rose, Harry Winks and Son Heung-min all come in from the team who drew against Everton on the final day.
