Venue : Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, Madrid
Liverpool have had a pretty wonderful 2018/19 Premier League season. Though they didn’t win anything they will take good memories from it. But they need to convert the good display into European success.
The Reds would now love nothing less than a triumph in the UEFA Champions League. Liverpool know Tottenham Hotspur wouldn’t make things easier for them but Liverpool know their class and need to play good football accordingly.
Mohamed Salah and Jurgen Klopp forms a deadly combination and the manager will have their eye set on the title. Klopp will do all he can to lift the trophy in Madrid, the players just need to support him.
On the other hand, Tottenham Hotspur have done wonderfully so well to reach till here and they will be disappointed if they do not achieve what they crave for. They need to play quality football.
Spurs need to become a big club and competitions like these make you famous globally. Liverpool are a tough and legendary club. Tottenham know it and to achieve success in European nights against them will need to take big step ahead. Spurs will need to have a good strategy to execute upon.
Tottenham are a good team and with players like Lucas Moura they have the potential to upset Liverpool.
The Reds have a good record against Tottenham Hotspur and they need to make full use of the fact.
