As we approach the end of the European football season, anticipation is building for the Champions League final. Almost four years on from their initial encounter in Kyiv, Liverpool meet Real Madrid in Paris for a rematch of the 2018 final at the Stade de France. With the Spaniards already securing success this season, winning La Liga earlier this month, they can now focus solely on their trip to France, but Jürgen Klopp’s side still have domestic responsibilities if they are to complete a famous quadruple. 

Liverpool’s Premier League pursuit took a real dent after dropping points to Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield, but their lofty ambition could culminate in Paris, with the core of their squad wanting to exact revenge on Madrid after their shortcomings. The two sides did meet in last season’s quarter-finals, but it was harsh to judge an injury-laden Liverpool, who fielded the likes of Nat Phillips and Ozan Kabak in the absence of Virgil Van Dijk at the back. 

Madrid are in search of a 14th European Cup and with Carlo Ancelotti, the man responsible for La Decima in the dugout, they have every chance. The Italian has a more experienced side, and for that reason, they are just edging it as favourites in the Liverpool v Real Madrid odds, but as the weeks go by the game is proving increasingly tough to call. Read on, as we take a look at the managerial battle between Klopp and Ancelotti ahead of the UEFA Champions League final. 

Both Klopp and Ancelotti have tasted Champions League success before, and it makes for an interesting tactical battle, especially considering the latter had only left Merseyside a year ago with a strange spell at neighbours Everton. Since returning to Madrid, Ancelotti has brought the feel-good factor back to the Bernabéu, with some dramatic moments in an entertaining European campaign. Despite some injury concerns, if the Italian has his full side available, he’ll leave Klopp with plenty of questions to answer, something he was hopeful of ahead of sealing the La Liga title. 

“We didn’t need points, but we wanted to play a good game”, he said before the Madrid Derby. “The idea is that everyone is available for the final and we will work towards that. We have just enough time to prepare for the final and get all the players back.

“This week we can’t work too much, because we have two games to play. The best thing is to touch what we do as little as possible.”

Ancelotti has tasted defeat to Liverpool before though, with the ghost of the 2005 final in Istanbul surely leading to some precaution. However, you’d expect Klopp to go with his usual all-guns-blazing approach in Paris, with his front three constantly rotating. At the time of writing, Luis Díaz, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané are the preferred triumvirate, with the Senegal international deployed as a false nine. If he persists with the same style, it could cause headaches for Éder Militão, who struggled to deal with the intensity of Manchester City’s press in the semi-finals. 

One man Klopp will have to rely on is his captain Jordan Henderson. From a tactical perspective, you could argue that Henderson is the weak link in the Liverpool midfield, with his numbers paling in comparison to Fabinho and Thiago. He’ll have to be at the top of his game in terms of his industrious running and organisation to nullify the experienced Madrid midfield, with Toni Kroos and Luka Modrić seeing far too much of the ball last time out.

Both benches could also prove pivotal, as Rodrygo and Divcok Origi have earnt super-sub status amongst their respective clubs. It will be interesting to see how the proverbial chess game goes in each dugout when the game kicks off at the Stade de France, but whoever comes out on top will be a worthy winner.

The craze of TV series has taken over the movie madness. After all, TV series are elaborate, and people get more time to see how characters live and evolve. Secondly, the ease of watching shows in the comfort of your home through high-speed internet is unmatched.

We all want to have healthy and beautiful skin. For best results, the products must be selected correctly. Otherwise, they will not produce the desired effect. But what is needed for this? We answer – you need to know your skin type.

Determining skin type.

There is an easy way to determine what type of skin you have. To do this, you only need a paper napkin: 

1. We wash our face but don’t use care products. 
2. We are waiting for 3-4 hours. 
3. We take a dry paper towel and wipe your face thoroughly, trying to cover all areas. From the result obtained on the napkin, you need to conclude: 

• Dry skin – the tissue remains dry, without traces or greasy stains. 
• Normal skin – barely noticeable fat spots appeared on the napkin. 
• Oily skin – after a short testing time, the wipe is heavily saturated with fat. 
• Combination skin – if the napkin shows excessive fat secretion in the t-shaped zone. 

Another type of sensitive skin can be sensitive. This type reacts with redness even to a minor irritant. Also, with age, skin type can change depending on hormonal levels, climatic conditions, or lifestyle.

Normal skin 

Such skin needs creams without an aggressive effect on the epidermis. It is necessary to cleanse with foam, milk, or gel. We recommend our bestseller – DEEP CLEANSER GEL. Then remove the remnants of cosmetics with a tonic and complete the procedure with a moisturizer. In this matter, we offer WHITE OYSTER CREAM. In addition to moisturizing the skin, it also rejuvenates it.

Dry skin 

Dry skin is prone to redness, peeling, and inflammation. Therefore it requires enhanced nutrition and hydration. 

• It is necessary to cleanse the skin with foams, milk, or gels, which delicately remove cosmetics and at the same time soften. 
• For day cream, it’s preferable to use products with a lightweight structure. 
• Night cream should contain natural oils for enhanced nutrition during sleep.

We have developed the SKIN FOOD line, especially for dry skin.

Oily skin

Oily skin has large pores that are often clogged, causing acne and inflammation. This skin is less prone to wrinkles, but only care will help this type look beautiful. You should:

• Use creams with a lightweight or gel structure.
• Use for additional cleansing tonics and lotions with a matting effect.
• Using masks for oily skin.
