Liverpool have needed a little bit of luck in the Champions League over the years. Their 2005 triumph in Istanbul provided enough evidence to suggest that football doesn't always make sense.
Sometimes matches follow the course of logic but often, unexplainable results happen, and Real Madrid know all about that. They advanced to this year's final earlier in the month by scoring three goals in six minutes against Manchester City.
Two of their goals came after the 90th minute in normal time, before Karim Benzema scored a penalty in extra-time to win the contest. The Spanish champions will now face Liverpool in Paris this weekend.
