REAL MADRID are gearing up to take on Juventus in the Champions League final in Cardiff on Saturday.
The La Liga giants are attempted to win their third trophy in the tournament in just the last four seasons.
But Juve have conceded just three times in 12 games in the 2016-17 Champions League campaign and won’t roll over and let Zinedine Zidane’s Real have it.
As fans gear up for the eagerly-anticipated final this Saturday, YouTube has revealed the nine most viewed in-match moments in football history.
Ahead of the all-important kick-off, check out the most memorable moments in football, based on what’s earned the most hits on the video-hosting site.
MINI EL CLASICO – 13million hits
BACK in 2016, Barcelona live-streamed the Final Tourneo MIC – an international youth tournament.
The final of the competition was played between Barca and rivals Real Madrid.
The video racked up in excess of 13million hits – the most watched football clip in YouTube’s history.
PIQ YER BATTLES- 10.8m
A SLIGHTLY odd one for second place, the video is entitled ‘yellow card for Gerard Pique’.
The clip on YouTube, which has racked up 10.8m hits shows Cristiano Ronaldo being subbed on for Real in a 2013 El Clasico game, before he is immediately hauled down by Pique.
BALE WONDERGOAL – 10.4m
THIS is one you’ll all remember – for a third time involving Real Madrid vs Barcelona.
During the 2014 Copa del Rey final, Gareth Bale scored an absolute wondergoal, beating his man for pace before poking the ball into the back of the net.
BECKS’ CORNER GOAL – 7.4m
WHILE most famous for his heroics with Manchester United, Real Madrid and even England at times, the fourth-most watched clip comes from his LA Galaxy days.
Taking a corner against Chicago Fire, Becks rifles in a low, curling corner that deceives everyone and flies into the back of the net.
EL CLASICO HIGHLIGHTS – 5.7m
ANOTHER video, another El Clasico clip getting big hits.
This time it’s the full highlights from Real Madrid’s 3-1 win over Barcelona at the Nou Camp in 2013.
MANCHESTER DERBY DRAMA – 5.6m
IN at No6 comes the highlights of Manchester United’s trip to rivals City in the FA Cup.
United ran out 3-2 winners in a thrilling game back in January 2012.
RON’S STUNNER – 5m
RONALDO has scored a host of sensational goals in his career.
But it is his backheel flick against Valencia in May 2014 that hit the 5million views mark…
SWEDE SATISFACTION – 4.1m
BACK in 2012, England played Sweden in the first game at Stockholm’s Friends Arena.
The Swedes won the friendly 4-2, with then highlights smashing past 4million views.
ZLAT’S INCREDIBLE – 3.8m
DURING the same game, you surely must remember a goal from a certain Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Pounding on a poor clearance by Joe Hart, the United man unleashed an outrageous overhead kick from 30 yards to complete the win.
