Former Liverpool and Real McManaman star predicts Champions League final
Real Madrid duo Karim Benzema and Vinicius Jr. have risked being left with an egg in their face before the Champions League final.
The pair have been the leader of the whites and must evoke a little more magic if they want to bring down Liverpool, who will go to the Stade de France as a favorite. The final will be a replay of the 2018 show, which the Spanish team won 3-1 in Kyiv.
Since then, Liverpool have won the Champions League, while Real Madrid’s last win is their 2018 victory. Benzema has been a star player as Carlo Ancelotti’s side have continued to rise during the round of 16, against PSG, Chelsea and Manchester City.
Fabinho’s forgotten stint at Real Madrid as Liverpool’s “beacon” seems to have laughed for the last time Cristiano Ronaldo’s bomb helped mask the implosion of Liverpool’s Champions League final
His victory over Liverpool in 2018 left a sour taste in the mouths of some. Mo Salah was sent off for injury after a clash with Sergio Ramos. The mistakes of Loris Karius also played an important role in the result, but before the resumption the stars of Madrid have not been shy when it comes to saying what they thought.
Vinicius Jr has no doubt that if LaLiga champions match the intensity of their rival, they will come out on top. The Brazilian said: “I hope they play with all of them. We want a fantastic match between two teams with all their players. With a concentration of 100 percent. And both fighting for the most important thing, which is the Champions League. “.
“We watch a lot of Liverpool games. It’s a great team with a lot of strength and a lot of intensity. If we face them … we will win for sure.”
Karim Benzema and Vinicius Jnr are two of Real Madrid’s most powerful threats
Benzema, meanwhile, a scorer of successive hat-tricks in games against Chelsea and PSG, is the advice of many people for the Golden Ball. He scored his first goal in the 2018 final and has scored 15 times in this year’s competition. The Frenchman has commented that the Reds, despite being an impressive team, have not evolved in the last four years.
“They are very good,” he said. “They haven’t changed much over the years. But in the end we have to look at our game. And if we do ours, whatever happens. I’m sure.”
Salah has expressed his desire to take revenge on the Spanish giants, especially after his own absence in 2018, as the club seeks to make up for his disappointment in the Premier League. He said: “I’m very motivated, motivated to the ceiling, after what happened last time [2018 final] and Sunday – everyone is motivated by it. We fight for it and everyone is excited. ”
While there is no shortage of motivation for Liverpool, the comments of Vinicius Jr and Benzema run the risk of being bitten again if Jurgen Klopp’s team comes out on top.
