4The Wanda Metropolitano will host the Champions League final on SaturdayBut there can only be one winner – and here at talkSPORT.com, we’ve tried to predict who that might be.Liverpool did the double over Tottenham earlier this season and finished 26 points above them in the league.Overall, the Reds have dominated their recent history with Spurs, losing just one of their last 14 meetings. You’d back Jurgen Klopp’s men on paper, but as we all know, Champions League finals aren’t played on paper.Here’s how our writers expect the game to go…
Sean O’Brien – TottenhamLogic says Liverpool, but where has logic been throughout this remarkable Champions League campaign?Tottenham, in my opinion, are far more adaptable to a cagey European final, whereas Liverpool will play their heavy-metal football regardless of the occasion – often to their detriment.The Reds would’ve been hoping for Ajax. Spurs know too much about them. I expect Pochettino to outsmart Klopp.

4Tottenham pulled off a miraculous second-half comeback against Ajax in their semi-finalJoe Moore – LiverpoolWe all know league form don’t mean squat in a cup final, but surely there is only one outcome here.This is Spurs’ first ever European Cup final, while these Reds players have been there before and will be fired up from the INJUSTICE last year against Real Madrid.Plus, they’ll be desperate to end the season with a trophy after missing out on the Premier League title – again! Six-time European champions, anyone? COME ON YOU REDS!
Joe Coleman – TottenhamThe arrogance emanating from some of Liverpools players before this final is quite staggering; with James Milner the latest player to suggest the Reds deserve to win the trophy.On paper, Jurgen Klopps side is stronger especially if Harry Kane is not at 100% against the powerhouse that is Virgil van Dijk.But Mauricio Pochettino is doing his utmost to remove the tag of bottlers from this Spurs team and their performances show that. Expect to see the north Londoners come out all guns blazing.

4Liverpool could end up trophyless despite performing at an incredible level all seasonJackson Cole – LiverpoolBoth Tottenham and Liverpool have done brilliantly to make it to Madrid especially during the semi-finals when it looked very unlikely either of them would make it through after their respective first legs.But I think this is Liverpool’s time as their success this season has had more substance to it. They haven’t won anything in the 2018/19 campaign so far but they’ve played like champions, whereas Tottenham’s path to the final has essentially been done on adrenaline – similar to the situation Liverpool were in 12 months ago when they made the final in Kiev.Liverpool have more depth to their team too which could be decisive in such a tight game at the end of a very long season. A Liverpool win would finally show Spurs owner Daniel Levy what can happen if you’re willing to ‘be brave’ in the transfer market, as Mauricio Pochettino subtly put it a year ago.

4Who will claim the coveted prize?Josh Fordham – TottenhamThings just seem to be going Spurs’ way in the Champions League this season.It will be a close game but I can see Pochettino’s side edging it in extra time.
Oliver Dawnay – LiverpoolJurgen Klopp’s Reds will be desperate for some silverware following the superb season they have had and I believe they have too much quality for Spurs all over the pitch.
Daniel Sandford – LiverpoolLiverpool will be desperate to win after their Premier League disappointment. They boast a better attack and Kane’s lack of fitness could prove a huge blow to Spurs.
