The five time winners travel to Kiev and take on 12 times winners, in search of the trophy all in Europe dream of playing for. Who will lead their team to triumph between world’s best, Roland and England’s best, Mohamed Salah.
A cup final with two teams who share a rich history in this very cup. The weight of brining the European power back to England for Klopp and his men. For Zidane, it’s just another day in a final. Klopp is right by saying they were not supposed to be here and just being here, alone is a cup win for them.
The reigning champs of the Champions League know exactly what to do in these situations. Arguably, by a lot of referee decisions and great footballing by their main attacking drive, Ronaldo and Marcelo, Madrid it through.
Liverpool’s trip to Kiev
They really conquered all of Europe to get their spot in the Champions League Final. From an almost flawless run through the group stage, to beating up and knocking around all their knockout opposition.

The Reds under Klopp has only seen one loss during their trot. And trot they did. Roma, where they suffered this none effective loss, was the only place they appeared to be climbing uphill. If they weren’t scoring four goals, they were scoring five.
If we have the same Anfield side turning up in Kiev, who’ve featured thus far in the tournament, Real Madrid are in for a busy night.
Liverpool has really turned their importance around in England. After appointing Klopp in two and a half seasons ago. From nowhere near the big boys, they’ve now become the second best team to watch in the Premier League.

Reaching two European Cup Finals in the two European competitions they’ve been involved in, raisers high bars.Full concentration and a fully, firing front three of Mane, Salah and Firmino, this cup is going back to England to be planted with the other five.

The Real Deal Madrid
Liverpool step into these players’ office today. Real Madrid has been holding interviews for the finals in the Champions League more many seasons running. The Spanish and European giants emphases the meaning of ‘Golden era’.
Giving it up for no team trying to take the trophy Ronaldo loves so much away from them, Real are the heavy favourites in the white corner. It’s the Ronaldo show and Real Madrid and Liverpool are featuring in it . But now you have to ask… Is the force stronger with the vet, Ronaldo? Or has Obi chosen a new Jedi in Mo Salah?

Next: Sarri edges closer to becoming the Blues manager
Real’s march to Kiev was a bit harder than their opponents. Making it difficult in many situations, the Spanish side is really lucky to be here tonight. Anyway, not dwelling on the everyday robbery, Madrid stand a chance to win their 13th Champions League trophy. WOW! Just amazing by Ronaldo and co.
