Irish Examiner View: One night in Paris for Liverpool and Salah to settle old scores

There are some intriguing subplots to what should be a fascinating encounter between two of Europe's most decorated clubs.

So now we know. The Champions League final will be held in Paris on May 28 when two venerable clubs, neither of which are the reigning champions of their country (although Real Madrid have just regained their title from city neighbours Atlético), face off in a return encounter from an ill-tempered match in 2018.

This time it should be a compelling encounter.
