Champions League Final In NYC: Best Bars To Watch The Game

NEW YORK, NY — The 2018-19 European club soccer season is finally coming to an end. The Champions League Final between Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool is on Saturday, June 1.

The English clubs were the last two standing of 79 teams from all over the continent that have battled throughout the past 12 months.

Kick off is at 3 p.m.

It is the 64th season of Europe's top club tournament and only the second time that the final will feature two teams from England.

Liverpool reached the tournament's final last year, only to be dismantled by the three time defending champion Real Madrid. Real Madrid was, however, eliminated by Ajax in the Round of 16 this year.

Want to get out of your apartment to watch the game with like-minded fans? New York City is home to a large collection of soccer bars that are going all out for the Champions League Final.
