Danny Higginbotham: Champions League final

GOALS, goals, goals.

That’s all I can say with any certainty that we’ll see in Kiev.

My big gamble is on over 3.5 goals. It’s going to be a cracker.

Jurgen Klopp will look to set traps for Marcelo and Dani Carvajal.

He’ll be more than happy for Real Madrid to dominate possession, drawing out the two full-backs and then penetrating with Mo Salah and Sadio Mane.

But that comes with its own risks when you have players as clinical as Cristiano Ronaldo, Isco, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema coming at you.

Either way, it sets up for a fantastic game… don’t get up to make a cup of tea or go to the bar!

Klopp probably doesn’t get the credit he deserves for improving Liverpool’s defence as the season’s gone on.

Virgil van Dijk was a great acquisition and his use of the two holding midfielders has evolved.

But if you pressed me then I’d say this will finish 3-2 for Real Madrid.
