Real Madrid winger Marco Asensio has identified Liverpool’s third striker as the danger ahead of the Champions League final.
The Reds face Carlo Ancelotti’s team in Paris on Saturday night as they look for the club’s seventh European Cup. It will be the third Champions League final of Jurgen Klopp’s team in which they have competed in the last five years, winning the 2019 show after defeating Tottenham Hotspur at Atletico Madrid’s Wanda Metropolitano Stadium by 2-0 with goals from Mo Salah and Divock Origi. The previous year they lost 3-1 to Real Madrid.
Asensio, who entered that final, knows that Liverpool are a much stronger team than the one that Real faced in Kyiv in 2018, and has identified their dangerous strikers as the players to score.

He told the Spaniard Marca: “You have to prepare all the phases of the match and analyze the rival. We have to focus above all on ourselves, on our virtues, try not to make mistakes so that they do not take advantage.
“They have very fast players in front of them. Take care of all that and then there’s the heart, the passion we have to get another Champions League and the competitiveness that we all are. It’s no coincidence that we’ve reached so many finals and won so many titles. “
Asensio has had a good season after spending more than a year away with a serious ACL injury. He will now look to win the third Champions League trophy of his career after playing roles in his tremendous knockout victory over Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Manchester City.
He said, “Yes, I can believe it [the comebacks], although it is true that it has been a very different Champions League from previous seasons, as all the qualifiers have been relegated. They were amazing matches that, when they were over, we had no idea what had happened. There’s a relationship with fans that hasn’t been around for a long time. It’s been very special for everyone. “
