The Reds travelled with a squad that will take on the Madridistas in the final. There were interesting additions of academy players who look set to enjoy a magical day in the first-team.

A notable exception from the list is German goalkeeper Loris Karius. The former Mainz shot-stopper has not made an appearance for the Reds since his error-filled display against Madrid in the 2018 final in Kyiv.

Goalkeepers: Alisson, Kelleher, Adrian, Davies
