1 – Extra time not decisive
In the previous 22 Champions League finals, only last year's final between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid was decided in extra time.
Interestingly up until last season, on the six occasions extra time has been needed, there have been no goals scored in the 120 minutes of play.
1 – Number of red cards in a final (normal time)
Only one player has been sent off in a Champions League final during normal time – Jens Lehmann. The Arsenal goalkeeper was dismissed in the 2006 final on 18 minutes for bringing down Samuel Eto’o.
Despite trailing for the majority of the match, Barcelona made their man advantage count, winning 2-1 with goals from Eto’o and Juliano Belletti on 76 and 81 minutes respectively.
Given the history between Luis Suarez, Patrice Evra and Giorgio Chiellini this final could be the first final since 2006 to involve a red card in normal time.
Pinnacle are offering odds of 4.300 to see the referee brandish a red card, while odds of 1.255 suggest Lehmann will remain the only player to be given his marching orders in normal time.
2.63 – Average number of goals in Champions League final
Since 1993, the Champions League final has witnessed 58 goals at an average of 2.63 goals per game.
Despite only two finals in the last five years seeing more than 2.5 goals in normal time, 50% of finals in the last 22 years have gone over the mark.
Over 2.5 goals is available to back with Pinnacle at 1.980.
4 – Average number of bookings in Champions League final (normal time)
The previous 22 Champions League finals have produced 88 yellow cards and one sending off, which averages out at four booking points per game with Pinnacle.
5 – Only five penalties (normal time)
There have been just five penalties in normal time in the last 22 Champions League finals – three of which came in the same game. Intriguingly, only three have been scored.
Pinnacle are offering odds of 3.900 for a penalty to be awarded in normal time for the first time since 2013, while 1.294 is available for bettors who don't believe referee Cüneyt Çakır will point to the spot.
6 – Penalty shootouts
Six Champions League finals have been decided by penalty shootouts with only one reaching sudden death.
Barcelona lost on penalties in 1986 against Steaua Bucuresti, while Juventus have had their fate sealed by penalties twice since 1993. They beat Ajax in 1996 but lost to AC Milan in 2003.
Neither team relied on penalties to reach this seasons Champions League final.
11 – 1st half Total number of goals (odd or even)
For bettors betting on whether or not the total number of goals in the 1st half is even or odd will be intrigued to know in the past 22 UCL finals 50% have been even and 50% odd.
Pinnacle are offering the total 1st half goals to be even at 1.757 and odd at 2.170 for this year’s final.
16 seconds – Quickest goal by a substitute
16 seconds is all it took former Dortmund forward Lars Ricken to score after coming onto the pitch as a substitute in the 1997 final against Juventus – the quickest goal by a substitute in the Champions League final.
18% - Both teams to score in 1st half
In only 18% of previous UCL finals since 1993 have both sides scored in the 1st half. The last time this happened was in 2011 when Barcelona beat Man United 3-1.
If you think both teams will score in the 1st half of this year’s Champions League final odds of 5.240 are available at Pinnacle.
50/50 – Spain vs. Italy
Since 1993 a Spanish team have met an Italian at the final just twice before, with each nation wining once apiece.
In 1993-94 AC Milan stunned the world of soccer with a resounding 4-0 demolition against the much-favoured Barcelona team managed by Johan Cruyff.
Spain didn’t have to wait long for revenge as Real Madrid beat Juventus 1-0 in the 1997-98 final.
Will there be a similar shock this year if Juventus can beat the attacking prowess of Barcelona?
52 seconds – Fastest Champions League goal
Paolo Maldini holds the record for the fastest goal scored in Champions League final history. The Italian took just 52 seconds to give AC Milan the lead against Liverpool in 2005.
60% – Both teams to score
In 60% of Champions League finals both teams have scored. Odds of 1.934 are available if you think both Barcelona and Juventus will score, while 1.943 is offered for at least one team to keep a clean sheet.
61.5% – How often the favourites win in normal time
Since 2002, 61.5% of the favourites with Pinnacle have gone on to lift the cup.
Barcelona are this year’s 1.625 favourites with Pinnacle, while Juventus are available at 5.990, with the draw set at 4.210.

The Champions League top goalscorer Messi is as short as 1.980 to score in the final, while Brazilian Neymar (2.850) and Suarez (2.690) will hope to add to their tally.
