The opening show
Imagine Dragons are performing ahead of the game.
After that we will see who is On Top Of The World, whether Liverpool can eliminate their Demons from last year and if Spurs can replicate their Amsterdam triumph.
It's Time (almost)
I'll get my coat.
The players are out
Tottenham and Liverpool make their way onto the pitch as we approach to the Champions League anthem being played live, I'm a big fan of that!
Kick-off is just minutes away!
We're off
The waiting is over and Liverpool get us underway in the 2019 Champions League final!
All four corners of the ground rose as Jose Antonio Reyes, who tragically died earlier today, was remembered.
PENALTY TO LIVERPOOL!
What drama!
Liverpool play it long straight away and Mane is in possession on the right. He cuts inside and sees a cross blocked by Moussa Sissoko's arm.
A short VAR referral confirms the decision.
Tottenham 0-1 Liverpool
Mohamed Salah scores!
The Egyptian makes no mistake with the penalty and he smashes it beyond Hugo Lloris.
There's no messing about as he slams the ball past the goalkeeper before he can get anywhere near it.
5: Tottenham 0-1 Liverpool
Spurs calm things down and get some touches on the ball to settle the early nerves. They win a corner which is whipped in by Kieran Trippier, but Virgil Van Dijk rises above Harry Kane to clear.
10: Tottenham 0-1 Liverpool
Tottenham have settled a little bit here and are working their way through the Liverpool lines in the way they'd hope.
They work the ball forward and Moussa Sissoko is presented with a decent opening to shoot, but blazes well over.
11: Tottenham 0-1 Liverpool
Liverpool get their first corner after Virgil Van Dijk's long ball to Sadio Mane is cleared away.
Hugo Lloris comes out and pats the ball away from a crowded area. Good goalkeeping.
