After the craziest week in Champions League history, will Liverpool or Spurs triumph in Madrid?

Jurgen Klopp can count upon the most dynamic, ruthless front three in Europe. The peculiar thing is that this wasn't a factor in the incredible comeback against Barcelona: Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah were out injured, and Sadio Mane was relatively quiet by his standards.

The real key will be Mane - likely to be up against Kieran Trippier, who has endured a hugely disappointing campaign at right-back. It's important to put this in context: In almost all of those contests, Klopp's side went into the final as underdogs. There was no shame in Dortmund losing to a Bayern side who had regularly poached their best players, nor was it unexpected when Real Madrid got the better of his Liverpool side.

But a few weeks of rest between the final Premier League game and the final in Madrid means this shouldn't be an issue. Besides, Liverpool are up against a side who have looked more fatigued than them in recent weeks. With the likes of Moussa Sissoko and Dele Alli nearer full fitness, Tottenham are very much capable of matching Liverpool's intensity and pressing ability in the centre of the pitch.

Tottenham Hotspur's Brazilian midfielder Lucas Moura shoots during the English Premier League football match between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, Mar 31, 2019. While Liverpool have a similar starting XI to the side defeated last season by Real Madrid, and offer more experience of European competition overall, this will be by far the biggest game for almost every Tottenham player, with the arguable exception of Hugo Lloris, France's World Cup-winning captain last season.
