Champions League Final - Real Madrid vs Liverpool

Champions League Final – Real Madrid vs Liverpool – Preview, Odds & Predictions

Saturday night at 19.45 GMT. What are you doing then? Barbeque with the family? Reading bedtime stories? No, there is only one thing to do this upcoming Saturday night. It’s the Champions League final. This is the night we all have been waiting for and the night to end the 2017/2018 season. You must sit glued to the TV. This year, the fixture includes Spanish side Real Madrid that has won the tournament two years in a row and underdogs Liverpool from the UK. The Spanish side already made history to win the tournament two years in a row and if they would win this fixture, I’m pretty sure no team will ever be able to bet them to it. If the team would win the most prestigious club tournament in the world, both the Champions League and Europa Leauge trophy would end up in Madrid since Athletico Madrid won it last week. Also a first!

Liverpool with one of the most lethal offensive lines in the world was most likely not predicted to play the final in Kyiv but have been playing surprisingly well and dominated Roma in the first semi-final. The second one was one of the weirder games in a long time but the Merseyside team was able to advance to the final even if the team collapse late in the game in Rome. But will the Brits have a chance here? If you look at the odds, the team has a similar chance to win it in relation to the Madrid team. With Salah, Mane, and Firmino, the team is lethal and the slightest mistake by the reigning champions, it would hurt them greatly.

The biggest doubt with Liverpool is their defense. Virgil Van Dijk came into the squad during the transfer window in January but most likely Lovren will start next to him. Sadly, the Croatian is a big liability and have a tendency to make critical mistakes. This could be what decides the outcome of the final.

With the experiences of the Real Madrid team and with Cristiano Ronaldo in great form in the tournament, it is most likely for the Spanish side to win it. Real Madrid will be the champions once again.
