The Champions League final is scheduled for Saturday. While Liverpool had a relatively easy path through Inter Milan, Benfica Lisbon and Villarreal, Real Madrid went through the spider of death, knocking out PSG, Chelsea and Manchester City. What to expect from the match?
Liverpool are as happy as they can be with their season. They finished just two points behind first-placed Manchester City in the league, dominated the FA Cup and are also in the Carabao Cup final. Across all competitions, they have won ten of their last eleven games.
Although Real Madrid have won only one of their last four league games, on the other hand, they have been assured of the title all along and have only been finishing the season in La Liga. On the way to the final, they had defeated PSG, Chelsea and Manchester City.
Mohamed Salah has been the home team’s workhorse, with the Egyptian winger scoring thirteen times and assisting sixteen. Senegal’s Sadio Mané has twenty-three goals and five assists.
Karim Benzema is going for the Ballon d’Or, the French striker has scored a whopping forty-four goals and assisted fifteen times. The Brazilian striker has netted twenty-one times and assisted twenty times.
Both teams should have a full squad available, only Liverpool will be without the injured Divock Origi. Liverpool rely on a goalscoring attack, having netted ninety-four goals in the Premier League, with Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino shining alongside Salah and Mané.
However, it won’t be easy against Real, the White Ballet have scored more than once in just one of their last eight games. Considering the offensive quality of both teams, I think both Real and Liverpool will score.
