Baller is back for the final show in the series of the 2021/22 season and it doesn't get much bigger than the Champions League final. Host Ste Howson is joined by Julien Laurens, reporting from Paris, and WhoScored's very own Josh Wright to preview Saturday's final between Real Madrid and Liverpool.
Liverpool are bidding to close off a very successful campaign by adding the Champions League to their League Cup and FA Cap captures and getting revenge over Madrid for their 2018 final heartache. Real Madrid won La Liga with relative ease, wrapping up the title race in April, and are now looking to secure only their fourth European and league double.
The five talking points ahead of Saturday's Champions League final in Paris:
Are Alisson and Thibaut Courtois the two best goalkeepers in the world?
Why Trent Alexander-Arnold vs Vinicius Junior is the key battle on Saturday
Should Eduardo Camavinga start for Real Madrid?
What Liverpool's injury problems could mean for the final
The Ballon d'Or showdown between Salah, Mane and Benzema
Baller as ever is brought to you in association with Ladbrokes 5-a-side. Each of the guests reveal their own 5-a-side teams for the Champions League final at the end of the show that will go into our exclusive league on Ladbrokes. Ladbrokes have put up the best prize pool on the platform for our league with more than £1,000 up for grabs and a minimum £1 free bet guaranteed for all entrants.
