The finish line is within arm's reach.

The UEFA Champions League is wrapping its 2021-22 season with one final match: the championship.

Liverpool and Real Madrid will battle head-to-head on Saturday, May 28, following an intense semifinal competition, which saw Villarreal and Manchester City get knocked out.

Though the second leg of the semifinals ended in favor of Real Madrid and Liverpool, this wasn’t always the case. The first leg resulted in a road loss for Real Madrid, who fell to Manchester City 4-3.

The second leg was equally exciting for Real Madrid and Manchester City – the game reached the half with no score, later followed by two Manchester goals. Real Madrid were falling behind and desperately needed a lifeline when out of the blue, Rodrygo scored twice in 90 seconds. Minutes later, Karim Benzema converted a penalty kick in the first extra time period, racking the final aggregate score to 6-5 in favor of Real Madrid.

Liverpool and Villarreal’s second leg semifinals match was also adrenaline-evoking. After Liverpool took the first matchup 2-0 at home, underdogs Villarreal led the second leg 2-0 for a majority of the match. Liverpool joined the game late, but better late than never as they eventually earned a 3-2 victory thanks to Luis Díaz and Sadio Mané.
