It’s a massive day of soccer. Two of the worst teams in MLS look to correct their season as two of the best teams in the world look to become champions of Europe. The Seattle Sounders moved their start time back to 2:00 p.m. so that fans could watch massive clubs Liverpool and Real Madrid contest the UEFA Champions League Final. TV coverage starts at 11:45 a.m. Pacific on FOX (broadcast, not Sports).
Thirteen years ago Sounders coach Djimi Traore won the Cup with Liverpool, while many players are Real Madrid fans. It might be a different pregame locker room today as the UCL is on in the background.
Liverpool is defined by Jürgen Klopp’s gegenpress and the emergence of Mo Salah, a rare challenger to Messi and Ronaldo as the greatest in the world. Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane took over the Cristiano Ronaldo-powered club just over two years ago. He already has two UCL titles and is going for his third in a row. A win by Madrid likely cements them as the greatest professional dynasty of all time.
