In just over three weeks’ time, Liverpool will have the opportunity to win their sixth European Cup following an impressive run in the Champions League.

England had a strong contingent in Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool this season, but not many would have tipped the Merseyside outfit to go all the way to Kiev.

Jurgen Klopp’s men are the competition’s top scorers with 40 goals to their name.

Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane have been in fine form in the attacking department, but fans were left slightly concerned by the former’s lacklustre display against Roma on Wednesday night.

Mane and Georginio Wijnaldum got on the scoresheet in what turned out to be a 4-2 defeat at the Stadio Olimpico.

However, Liverpool’s 5-2 victory at Anfield in the first leg of the semi-finals gave the team a big advantage heading into the decider.

The Reds face a tough task in the Ukraine showpiece as they take on a Real Madrid side that are looking for their third consecutive Champions League crown.

Zinedine Zidane’s side have not been entirely convincing during the campaign, but they have world-class talent and experience of winning at the top level.

Former Liverpool defender Phil Thompson is feeling very confident that the Reds will repeat the success of the 1981 European Cup final when Alan Kennedy scored the only goal of the game to beat Los Blancos in Paris.

Unsurprisingly, plenty of Liverpool fans agree.
