5 things that happened since Inter Milan last qualified for the Champions League

#3 Liverpool return to Champions League finals

Liverpool end 11-year wait for a Champions League final appearance

Liverpool are England’s most successful side when it comes to European glory. With 5 Champions League medals, they eclipse even Manchester United. But it had been 11 years since the Reds last appeared in a final before securing one this season.

The great Merseysiders witnessed a dramatic decline since losing the 2007 showpiece to Milan, even failing to qualify for four consecutive seasons from 2010/11 to 2013/14.

But the arrival of Jurgen Klopp has turned the tides. Liverpool are back among the Premier League elite, and after this season, also among that of Europe.

They successfully saw off Porto, Manchester City and AS Roma en route to the Kiev finale, but standing in their way of a sixth European crown, are the mighty Real Madrid, who are aiming to win a third consecutive title on the trot.

Beating this Blancos side would be a massive statement of intent from Liverpool.
