How to watch the Champions League final for free without a BT Sport subscription

Liverpool and Real Madrid will each be looking to stand on the top step of European football's podium when they meet in the UEFA Champions League final in Paris this evening.

Liverpool booked their place in their third final in five seasons earlier this month, surviving a scare against Villarreal to win their semi-final showdown 5-2 on aggregate. The Merseysiders won the first-leg 2-0 at Anfield before being tasked with coming from 2-0 down to beat the Spanish outfit 3-2 in the second-leg at the Estadio de la Ceramica.
