Two of the biggest and most prestigious events, in the sporting calendar, take place today.

In Epsom and Madrid. The Derby and the Champions League Final.

Live coverage of both will be watched by hundreds of millions worldwide - and the CLF has two English sides.

Spurs and Liverpool, playing at Atletico Madrid's futuristic stadium - close to the centre of the city.

It will be the 240th Derby which is just over 1.5 miles, and for three year olds.

As usual the Queen will be there, overlooking the finishing line - accompanied by the great and good

If like me you don't have bt sport or any other subscription tv, you can watch free on bt sports youtube channel or on virgin tv.


I'll be routing for Liverpool,having been a fan since the days of Kevin Keegan, but not as. Salah is a great player and enjoyable to watch, and is critical to their success. Klopp has lost his last 6 finals in all competitions as a manager, so I think if he loses again, there will have to be questions as to whether he should stay. After their semi-final second leg turn around against Barcelona coming from 3-0 down to win 4-3 without Salah and Firmino, they have to be the favourites, al.though Spurs had a similar turnaround against Ajax. Anyway I hope that it will be a great advert for British sport, even though there will be hardly any British players on show.
