How did they get to the final?

LIVERPOOL

source

The transit of this team in the champions has been devastating, they began their group phase together with Porto, Atlético de Madrid and Milan, in that phase, they won all 6 games.

in the round of 16, they dispatched Inter Milan, Benfica in the quarterfinals and Villareal in the semifinal.

Regarding their goalscoring record, they have scored 30 goals and allowed 12, highlighting their striker Salah as the top scorer with 8 goals.

This year Liverpool has won the FA CUP and the Carabao Cup and fought to the end of the Premier League, however this was won by the Manchester City team.

For this match, the player Salah "arrives just right" while Fabinho, Thiago and Van Dijk are serious doubts.

Those of Klopp arrive with more minutes in their legs and more activity, because they fought their domestic competition until the last date, this aspect could take its toll on them, since a match of very high intensity is expected.

REAL MADRID

The Madrid team began their journey in the group stage against Inter Milan, Sheriff and Shaktar Donetsk with a balance of 5 wins and 1 loss.

Starting in the round of 16, the Madrid team unleashed its DNA in the competition, defeating PSG with an epic comeback at the Santiago Bernabéu, then in the quarterfinals, after comfortably winning the first leg against Chelsea, it got complicated. in the second leg, but he took the caste and dispatched the current champion of the competition in extra time and in the Semifinals, he showed again why they are the top winners of the competition by eliminating Manchester City in extra time after the English team dominated practically the entire tie.

Karim Benzema is the top scorer and star of the White team with a total of 15 goals in 11 games (top scorer in this edition of the Champions League).

Real Madrid this season has won the Spanish Super Cup and the League, the latter with overwhelming comfort, as it took more than 10 points from the second-placed team.

This allowed him to download minutes to key players who had accumulated fatigue (Kroos, Modric, Benzema, Vinicius).

Real Madrid arrives with the complete team and plugged in for this final, let's see if Ancelotti's team can crown this Epic Champions (it would be the 5th in 8 years).

Analysis

Liverpool is a very physical team and today, it is a better team than Real Madrid, however, it arrives with some key players injured and even if they reach the match, I don't think they are 100% if we add to this that they have had a more intense physical effort than Real Madrid in recent weeks, that fatigue can work in favor of the merengue team.

Liverpool is very vertical, it is one of the most lethal offenses in football and the white defense must be plugged in to avoid suffering the attacks of the " red " team

Real Madrid is a team that has shown that they know how to suffer, statistically they are the best team from the 80th minute onwards, so I think that Carlo Ancelotti is going to try to control the game and maintain a tactical order to prevent the game from slipping away of the hands

Madrid will take advantage of the fact that Liverpool plays with the advanced lines to counterattack on the wings with Vinicius Jr and Federico Valverde, I think that will be the key, Liverpool is a team that neglects its back when it turns to the attack and Real Madrid knows it .

I think that at the beginning of the match Liverpool is going to corner Real Madrid in their own field, with suffocating pressure... If Madrid is capable of "getting out of that situation alive", they could take advantage of the rival's fatigue to try to damage.

I have two hunches as to the outcome...

The first is that it is 1-1 and it is decided in extra time, I don't think it will go to penalties.

The second is that Madrid wins 1-2 or 2-3 and one of the goals will be from Valverde with a great goal from outside the area.

But whatever the result, it is a worthy final, with two traditional teams and a history that supports their greatness (Liverpool has won this competition 6 times while Real Madrid has done so 13 times)
