The Champions League final will pit Real Madrid against perennial underdogs Borussia Dortmund in the biggest game in world club football.

Real Madrid have hoisted the iconic trophy on 14 occasions, an unprecedented total, with five of those titles coming since 2014.

Dortmund lifted it once, in 1997, before being halted by Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich in the 2013 final at Wembley.

They return to the English national stadium this time around determined to upset the odds and clinch the silverware, but an all-too familiar presence will line up against them.

Jude Bellingham, who made a name for himself with the German giants, has been one of the standout players in world football since his switch to Real Madrid.

Fans across the continent are waiting for the final with eager expectation, and UK viewers have extra cause for celebration – with the final set to be shown live for free.

RadioTimes.com brings you all the details about how to tune in for free live coverage of the Champions League final.
