Champions League Final: Europe’s Biggest Prize

Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur

There’s no denying it; the UEFA Champions League final is the biggest domestic clash in European Football…if not the world.

And all eyes will be on the Wanda Metropolitano this weekend when Liverpool takes on Spurs for Europe’s biggest prize. It’s a clash that Premier League fans, in particular, will be relishing as everyone will have their favourite between these two.

Manchester United fans will be cheering on Spurs while Arsenal supporters will become Merseysiders for the day! Having reached last season’s final, Liverpool has been there or thereabouts in the Champions League 2019 betting odds but Spurs have been rank outsiders.

Now it’s a shootout between two of the best sides in England and, over 90 plus minutes, Spurs will have every chance of pulling off another upset. Jurgen Klopp would not have chosen Liverpool’s league rivals as an opponent at this stage of the competition, that’s for sure.

Talking Points

Comeback Kings

Few would have given Klopp’s team much hope when they kicked off in the second leg of their semi-final against Barcelona, 3-0 down after the first leg. That was, without doubt, one of the top Champions League 2019 highlights, but Spurs have launched their own spectacular comebacks to reach the final in Madrid.

A stunning hat-trick from Lucas Moura, including a third goal right at the death, took Spurs through to the final having broken Ajax hearts and Mauricio Pochettino knows his team will never give up.

Is this Mo’s Moment?

Liverpool star striker Mo Salah is hoping to banish the painful memories of last season’s Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid, when the Egyptian limped off with an injury in the first half, leaving Reds fans wondering what might have been.

And now, 12 months later, he hopes things will be very different at the Wanda Metropolitano as Liverpool heads into the final as favourites. He said: “It’s not just a dream. I hope it becomes a reality and I score in the final. I am so happy that I have the chance to play another final. I hope I can play the full game this time. I am very excited about that. I hope we can right what happened last season, get a good result, and win the competition.”

Red danger

Jurgen Klopp’s side has one of the most feared attacks in world football but the threat to opposing defences comes from all over the pitch. Liverpool’s wing-backs Trent Alexander Arnold and Andrew Robertson have made an incredible 23 assists in the Premier League season, a remarkable return when you consider their defensive responsibilities. And they will be sure to test their opposite numbers in Madrid.

 

Cometh the hour, cometh the man

Spurs fans are hoping their injury-plagued skipper Harry Kane will be fully fit at the weekend and coach Pochettino has been sweating on the fitness of his main man, but Kane has announced himself ready to play. And he is sure to occupy the thoughts of the Liverpool team and fans.

Kane was injured in the first leg quarter-final clash against Manchester City, but if he is anywhere near 100 per cent he could be the man to win the game. Liverpool wing-back Andy Robertson says: “Of course, Harry Kane is a world-class striker and whether he’s fit or not, he could be a match winner for them. We obviously hope not.

“It doesn’t really make a difference which team starts for them; we need to concentrate on us and on being 100 per cent defensively and attacking. It doesn’t really matter who plays.”

Spurs fans won’t agree with that!

History

Liverpool has had the better of the head-to-head, winning 26 of the 56 meetings since 1993, with 14 wins for Spurs and 16 draws.

Harry Kane and Lucas Moura have five goals each in this competition while Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino all have four each for the Reds.

And Liverpool has the psychological edge, having done the double over Spurs this season with a pair of 2-1 wins

Betting Tip

??
Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur Over 2.50 Goals @ 1.90
June 2, 03:00 (GMT+8)

At SBOBET odds of 1.94, Liverpool is odds on to win this match, but it’s going to be a nail-biter for both sets of fans. Spurs at 3.75 and the draw at 3.45 in 90 minutes are both possible outcomes and I don’t see either team having it all its own way.

It would be a dream for either set of fans to see their heroes lift the title, but if I have to get off the fence I think it could well be Liverpool lifting the title.

I expect to see goals and for an alternative bet, how about 2-1 to Liverpool at odds of 7.60?
