Prediction:
Liverpool vs. Real Madrid
Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti is looking at a record fourth Champions League title as a manager. For that to materialize he and the Spanish champions will have to face the toughest challenge yet: Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool who have won two domestic cups this term.
The Reds lost the Premier League title tantalisingly after Manchester City pulled off an incredible comeback on the final Matchday to maintain the one-point lead. One thing is for sure; fans around the world are in for a scintillating final as two of the finest clubs lock horns for the European crown.
With the quadruple dream over, the Merseyside club will go all-in for the treble. Klopp’s men are on an 18-game unbeaten streak across all competitions as they head to France. Los Blancos have seen off the likes of Manchester City and Chelsea despite going behind against both sides on their road to the final.
Interestingly, Real Madrid have not lost against Liverpool since 2009. They have won four while the spoils were shared in one. Real sealed the LaLiga title with four matches to spare which gave Ancelotti the luxury of resting his top players, meaning Los Blancos will come better-rested than the Reds.
The final will also be a battle between the two best forwards in the world right now; Mo Salah and Karim Benzema. Liverpool will likely pip Ancelotti’s men to be crowned the champions of Europe.
