Luis Díaz must get nod from Klopp even though Real Madrid may prefer to face him | Karen Carney

Colombian’s form, pace and freshness mean he deserves to start Liverpool’s Champions League final with Salah and Mané

Liverpool v Real Madrid will be decided by the finest margins, so it is good news that Jürgen Klopp has one of the finest forward lines in Europe available to him. Whichever combination he picks would be top-class but I think he will select a front three of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mané and Luis Díaz.

Salah has unfinished business after being forced off early on with a shoulder injury the last time these teams met in a Champions League final in 2018. That will be a powerful influence on a player who, after a long season, needs to find a last bit of energy in the hope of securing another trophy.
