Dear friends,
So it's getting to that stage where the Champions League Final Showdown between Real Madrid and Liverpool are only 5 days away (from where I am at least haha!).
As you know the lead up has been eventful for both teams but as a Reds man I am bias to have interest to one side. But I was just getting a bit worried thinking how the morale of the team will be going into the finals - I mean we won fantastically against Brighton with Mo-man back on the score charts (breaking a few records along the way) and it seems like when he plays well, the whole team plays well.. So I really REALLY hope he plays well in the finals.
A little bit of statistics: These are the Head to Head results for both Real Madrid and Liverpool in their last 5 games each
Real Madrid
Villarreal 2 - 2 Real Madrid - DRAW
Real Madrid 6 - 0 Celta Vigo - WIN
Sevilla 3 - 2 Real Madrid - LOSS
Barcelona 2 - 2 Real Madrid - DRAW
Real Madrid 2 - 2 Bayern Munich - DRAW
1 WIN - 3 DRAWS - 1 LOSS
Goals Scored: 14
Goals Against: 9
Goal Difference: +5
Liverpool
Liverpool 4 - 0 Brighton - WIN
Chelsea 1 - 0 Liverpool - LOSS
Roma 4 - 2 Liverpool - LOSS
Liverpool 0 - 0 Stoke - DRAW
Liverpool 5 - 2 Roma - WIN
2 WIN - 1 DRAWS - 2 LOSS
Goals Scored: 11
Goals Against: 7
Goal Difference: +4
As you can see both almost have nothing to separate them - both also had a arguably disappointing domestic season. Particularly to Liverpool, I am just happy we have Champions League football to look forward too next season. Real Madrid seem to have defense holes and lapes just like Liverpool and like most of the punters suggesting, it could very well be one of the highest scoring Finals in a while - with CR7 and Mo-Salah on the pitch, you know some magic will happen.
To all the soccer fans, RM fans and of course Liverpool fans - Get Ready for the Finals!!
Cheers!
