Liverpool's Champions League campaign in numbers

Real Madrid take on Liverpool in the Champions League final in what will be star-filled night in Kiev.

The 12-time champions beat Bayern Munich over two legs to reach this stage while Jurgen Klopp's Reds outlasted Roma over two absorbing ties to make it. Both sides are packed with talent, in-form talent at that, but who makes it into a combined selection of the two?

Surely you have to pick Mohamed Salah after his goal-filled debut season at Anfield, but would you play Ballon d'Or holder Cristiano Ronaldo alongside him or would his Liverpool partners in crime Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane make it instead?

Luka Modric and Toni Kroos have been dominating on this stage for a decade, but no one has ever notched more assists in one season than James Milner has this time around. It's a selection headache across the board.
