Sport360 head of content and lead football analyst, Alex Rea, along with Sport360 journalist (and Reds tragic), Alex Broun – give their insights and predictions for the Champions League Final on Saturday night in Kiev.
Rea, who hails from Liverpool, begins by giving his insight on how Liverpool shocked everyone by reaching the final using, in his words a combination of “skill and will”. At the start Rea admits he was worried about Liverpool even get past Hoffenheim in the qualifiers.
Both journalists also face the difficult question – do Liverpool deserve to be in the final? Three years ago Liverpool were thrashed 3-0 at home in the group stage by Los Blancos. Will it be any different in the Ukranian capital?
Rea and Broun also explore Jurgen Klopp’s dreadful records in finals (he’s lost the last five) and his ability to lift the team after they lost the Europa League final two years ago.
Rea also provides his incisive insight into the tactical battle and the big question on the day – how will Real line-up? – and he reveals why he will be sitting alone in a darkened room on Saturday night watching the game. Finally they both give their predictions – who do they think will win?
