This game offers Real Madrid the chance to further cement their place in history as the most successful team in Champions League history. This game is the 16th time they have appeared in the competition’s final, 12 of which have ended in wins for them. However, they face a Liverpool side that is one team that can upset the odds at the slightest opportunity and a thrilling final is definitely on here.
Madrid came from two goals up to draw their last competitive game before this match. That was the 5th time they have failed to win a game in their last six competitive outings, one of which was their 2-2draw against Bayern Munich in their last Champions League game.
They have now conceded at least two goals in four of their last five games and have kept a clean sheet in just one of their last 11 matches in all competitions. The question they would be asking of themselves is how can they stop the Liverpool trio of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, and Roberto Firmino who have found the back of the net for a combined 31 times in this competition this season?
Liverpool also do not have the best defence in the world right now as they have conceded 9 goals in their last 6 competitive games. They also have just two wins from their last six competitive games and allowed AS Roma to score them four goals in their last Champions League game.
Liverpool and Real Madrid have scored a combined 70 goals in the Champions League this season, and the Liverpool front three in combination with Cristiano Ronaldo have scored 46 goals already. This game could turn out to be a goal fest.
These teams have met twice in the Champions League before now and they both have two wins from the four matches.
