Liverpool to Win the Trophy
Both sides are finely balanced. Nevertheless, analyzing each team’s playstyle and recent stats, we believe Liverpool are slight favorites to win this match. Moreover, the Reds players are out for revenge on Los Blancos after losing UCL 2018 final.
Meanwhile, it’s hard to believe that Real Madrid are in the final after being outplayed for the vast majority of games against PSG, Chelsea, and Manchester City.
However, it would be a difficult task for them to repeat the same scenario against Liverpool.
Meanwhile, Liverpool have scored their last seven European goals in the second half. As Liverpool led none of their previous 3 Champions League fixtures at half-time (HT: D2, L1),
Moreover, all four goals in the 2017/18 final between these teams came after the break.
Liverpool have covered the 0 handicaps in 12 of their 13 previous UCL fixtures.
Thus, we believe the Reds are favorites to cover this bet since they have won 10 of their last 12 Champions League matches.
After 3 years, Liverpool are back to the Champions League final and hope to get revenge on Real Madrid for the UCL 2018 final.
The Merseyside team will be encouraged by the fact that they have just one defeat in the current UCL campaign. Moreover, the Reds have still gone 18 competitive games undefeated (W15, D3), with five of their previous six matches featuring both teams scoring.
Meanwhile, Liverpool have conceded not so many goals in the tournament so far. In the group stage, the Reds conceded six goals, and in the knockout stages, across six fixtures, they conceded seven.
In addition, the English side have appeared in nine European finals, in 1977, 1978, 1981, 1984, 1985, 2005, 2007, 2018, and 2019. Since Jurgen Klopp arrived in 2015, the German manager has guided the club to three UCL finals.

On the other hand, Real Madrid have a great opportunity to win their 14th UCL title and update their record. Los Blancos had the most success in the European Cup, winning the trophy a record thirteen times.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid have truly earnt their place in the final, having eliminated big teams such as champions of the France PSG, defending title holders Chelsea, and Premier League champion Manchester City along the way.
In addition, the Real Madrid haven’t lost an h2h meeting since 2009 (W4, D1). Moreover, the Spanish sides won both previous finals held at Stade de France (Real Madrid 2000, Barcelona 2006)
This will be their 17th final, with their most recent coming against Liverpool in 2018.
