It all comes down to this.
After an incredible Champions League season, the final will see Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool go head-to-head in Madrid for the right to be called European champions.
Spurs have progressed after a scarcely believable run that has seen them beat Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City and Ajax in the knockout stages, while the Reds have downed Bayern Munich, FC Porto and Barcelona.
This one should be a cracker, then, as the two sides meet for the first all-English final since 2008, when Manchester United beat Chelsea on penalties.
What history tells us
Spurs do not have a good record against Liverpool.
Across their last 10 games, they have won just once, a 4-1 thumping of the Reds at Wembley that saw Dejan Lovren turn in one of the worst performances ever committed in the Premier League.
Spurs have scored 13 goals to Liverpool’s 16 across that period, but they have kept just one clean sheet. Liverpool have kept two.
Neither team have had a player sent off across those 10 games. Will that trend end in a fiery final encounter?
Key Battle
Moussa Sissoko and Jordan Henderson are both absolutely integral to the way their teams play.
The Frenchman has made nine Champions League appearances this term and has laid on 10 key passes, made 17 tackles, won nine interceptions and made nine dribbles.
Henderson, by comparison, has made one more appearance, providing 15 key passes, 16 tackles, 11 interceptions and embarked upon three dribbles.
Sissoko, clearly, is the more mobile player and he is regularly trusted to gallop forward from defence after collecting the ball from his backline, but Henderson is a more assiduous presence, constantly looking to pounce on any loose touches.
Whichever team wins the midfield battle will likely win the game; Sissoko and Henderson have major roles to play in Spain.
Team News
Spurs have three injury concerns: Harry Kane, Harry Winks and Davinson Sanchez.
While Kane has declared himself fit for the encounter, doubts persist over his match fitness and there is every chance that he will begin the game on the bench. If he does, expect Lucas Moura, the hat-trick hero in the semi-final second leg against Ajax, to start up front.
That would also see Dele Alli played in the No.10 role, with Christian Eriksen shifted to the wing.
Winks has not played since April and has undergone groin surgery but the Daily Mail claim that he is likely to play alongside Sissoko from the start.
Sanchez, even if he is fit, has little chance of dislodging either Toby Alderweireld or Jan Vertonghen from defence and if he does play, Spurs would have to line up with five-at-the-back, the formation that was ripped to shreds by Ajax in the first leg. It doesn’t seem very likely.
Only Roberto Firmino is a doubt for Liverpool but it seems pretty likely that he will play alongside both Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.
That would see a reunion of the Red Arrows as the club look to put to bed the ghosts of last year’s final, when Salah was injured in the first half.
The rest of the team, really, picks itself, with Henderson likely to be joined by Fabinho and Georginio Wijnaldum, so superb against Barcelona, in the centre of the park. James Milner will likely begin the game on the bench.
The back four and goalkeeper are obvious; can Alisson avoid a Loris Karius-like disaster this time around?
