Uefa Champions League Final
Gather some mates and stock up on braai essentials, or hit a sports bar — perhaps the highlight of the weekend is the colossal clash between Europe's two biggest clubs, as five-time European champions Liverpool takes on 12-time champions Real Madrid in the 2018 Uefa Champions League Final in Kyiv, Ukraine.
It will be a clash between England and Spain — Liverpool will be aiming to reaffirm their place as the most dominant English side in Europe, and will be spurred on by their eccentric manager, Jurgen Klopp, and the mercurial Mohamed Salah.
Real Madrid will be aiming to become the first club to win three Champions League titles consecutively. They'd also make history by winning "La Decima" for a record 13th time.
Manager Zinedine Zidane and evergreen juggernaut Cristiano Ronaldo will be aiming to bring glory home to the Spanish capital.
The match is scheduled to kick-off at 8:45pm (South African time) and the match will be screened live on SuperSport 3.
Super Rugby
Rugby fans have a feast of Super Rugby on Saturday. There are four fixtures in total, two including South African sides.
Pretoria's Blue Bulls will host Australian side the Brumbies at Loftus Versfeld, starting at 3.05pm, and the evening brings an all-South African derby between the Stormers and the Golden Lions at Newlands in Cape Town, with kick-off scheduled for 5.15pm. If you can't make it to either stadium, there's always SuperSport 1.
