Tottenham Hotspur meets Liverpool in the Champions League final. The match will be played on Saturday, June 1st at Wanda Metropolitano (Madrid)
Surely, no one could have thought before the start of the season that the Spurs would be able to get into the Champions League final. However, if Ajax had progressed there, this would have been even more unexpected. Perhaps, it is worth starting from the fact that the London club could not have got out from the group, where it competed with Barcelona, PSV and Inter. The Spurs managed to get into the playoffs only because the Milanese made an offensive misfire in the last round, failing to beat the Dutch club at home.
However, with the onset of the playoff matches, the men of Pochettino were transformed for the better and began to create miracles. The Spurs were incredibly bright. At first, they confidently beat Borussia Dortmund - 4:0 on aggregate. After that, there was a fantastic battle with Manchester City, which became the best one in the last decade in the Champions League - 4: 4 on aggregate, but the Spurs went further due to an away goal. Having made an incredible comeback, they won the semifinal battle against sensational Ajax. The Dutch club won 1-0 in London and was winning 2-0 in the second home game after the first half. In fact, that situation did not leave chances for Pochettino; nevertheless, his men scored three times after the halftime. Showing such a game, the Spurs surely made a mash on the tens or even hundreds of thousands of fans around the world. It is an important fact that the Tottenham took fourth place in the Premier League, so even if the Spurs don’t beat Liverpool in the final, we will see them in the next season of the Champions League.

In the last season, the men of Jürgen Klopp managed to get to the final as well, but there they lost to Real Madrid. Since then the Liverpool club has strengthened quite seriously, so now it is stronger than a year earlier. However, it was not easy for Liverpool at the group stage. The Reds played against powerful PSG and Napoli and lost the away matches to them. Moreover, the Klopp’s players also underestimated Crvena Zvezda and lost to it in Belgrade. Nevertheless, the Reds won all home meetings and cut their way through the playoffs.
Like the Spurs, Liverpool began its extravaganza in the very playoffs. Even at the 1/8 final stage, the rival was formidable (Bayern), but Klopp's players dominated on the pitch and deservedly advanced further. After that, the Reds declassified Porto. Football fans will certainly recall the semifinals against Barcelona no less than the famous final against Milan. This time, Liverpool lost in the first match at Camp Nou (0:3), but they managed to win 4:0 in the return home match. The progress of Liverpool to the final was deserved. The team also deserved the champion’s title in the Premier League, but it still lost 1 point to Manchester City.
The history of the rivalry between the Spurs and the Reds includes 173 matches: the London club won 81 times, Liverpool gained 48 victories, and there was a peaceful outcome in 44 matches. Almost all matches were played in the Premier League.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win
