Haha yeah, he loves the limelight. I guess from his perspective he has dedicated his life to that moment, more so than any other professional.

why 'more so than any other professional' ?!

Maybe their experience is better but they're not a better team. Especially not defensively. We're better than them defensively

are you comparing your defence to city or madrids?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Real’s. They’ve conceded more than us.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
By the way I was referring to City in the first part of my comment, they are a better team than Real.

In fairness they've played PSG, Juve and Bayern in the knock out rounds though where as you've played Porto, Roma n City.

Liverpool have conceded 5 to Sevilla and 6 to Roma over two games. That won't be good enough versus Madrid. They'll have to defend much much better as this is the first genuine top European team you've faced all season. City aren't quite there in the CL for whatever reason despite the PL form.

Everything points to a Madrid win which is why I think Liverpool will win.

Madrid have that big game winning mentality and always seem to win no matter what league form they have.

I hope we don’t give them respect and attack and press them as they are not used to that. Bayern missed a hat full of chances I hope we convert ours.

Heart is pumping today can’t wait for tomorrow

If it doesn’t happen, I bet the first article after the game has the title;

“Jurgen klopp...”

Easily comparable to either.
Our defence was better than City's for the last 29 games of a 38 game premier league season.
And in terms of clean sheets, City had 18, we had 17.
We also conceded less goals than Madrid, in a much more competitive league.
So not that much of a stretch to be fair.

From the time that VVD joined us Liverpool has the BEST defensive record in the league and Karius (with 0.7) has the best goals conceded/game ratio in the league

Things like retaining the CL in its current format just didn't happen until last season either.

As I see it the final could go either way. Both sides hold clear advantages over the other in certain areas. Personally, I find it impossible to predict which of those aspects will eventually tip the scales.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think it'll be 3-1 Madrid but with us dominating a chunk of the game. They just have so many players that have been there and done it, that know how to win, that I think it will be enough for them. I think that the one thing we can guarantee is goals.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

We're still essentially the same side that struggled against Klopp's Dortmund sides.

We're obviously more experienced now, but we always had trouble adapting to their game and pace, and our key players are undeniably ageing.

On pure footballing terms you'v got the upper hand, imo. We have experience and individual quality.

All in all, it seems finely balanced although, somewhat ironically, you still can't discount either side blowing the other way depending on how heavily each of the factors at play weigh come the night.

fair point IOAG

but Liverpool are not as good as that Dortmund team imo..not even close ..esp in the critical midfield dept

Not even close ?
Bit much.

Would Liverpool be the 1st side to win 2 CL’s since their last league title?
