On May 28, the final match of the Champions League will take place, in which English Liverpool will play at home with Spanish Real Madrid. The forecast for this match is given by the famous commentator of Match TV, Alexander Netsenko.
Liverpool is considered the bookmakers' favorite for the final, and it's hard not to agree with this. Firstly, the Reds have a cup character no worse than Real Madrid, having proved this in practice by winning the trophies of the English League Cup and the FA Cup this season. Psychologists work with Jurgen Klopp's wards, telling the players how to maintain a fighting spirit and not lose concentration.
If we take only the Champions League finals, then Liverpool and Real Madrid have lost them an equal number of times – three each. Although, of course, the English club had fewer of these finals. But the Merseysiders have lost only 3 matches this season, while Madrid have lost only four times in the Champions League.
Someone says that Real Madrid will have more freshness, given that Carlo Ancelotti's team became the champion of Spain ahead of schedule, finishing the last rounds in training mode. But such an approach may well knock the team out of combat tone. Liverpool fought for the championship in the English Premier League until the last minutes, but still lost 1 point to Manchester City.
Alexander Netsenko sees the exchange of goals as the most reliable bet on the game. In the matches with the participation of these teams in the current Champions League, this bet came 7 times out of 12. In the last 8 of the 13 matches of Real Madrid in all tournaments, the bet "Both will score" came in, and Liverpool – in 5 of the last six matches. At the same time, Netsenko does not expect a big scoring extravaganza – the teams will not score more than five goals for two in two halves.
The expert also bets that Liverpool will win by 1 goal, or there will be a draw, and also believes that Karim Benzema has retained the necessary form by the end of the season to prove once again that he is the main contender for the Golden Ball at the end of the season.
