Our Verdict
Oluwafemi
The champions league final is serious business and those Liverpool players will feel that in what promises to be a mouth-watering clash in Kiev.
Real Madrid are clear favorites but it would be ridiculous to underestimate Jurgen Klopp’s troops.
In the final third, they can destroy any defense, as seen many times this season- Salah will need to deliver what he has done consistently in the Premier League this season- Goals.
However, the Reds are terrible in defending and where i feel they will have problems against Ronaldo and his troops.
Real Madrid 1 – 0 Liverpool
