Liverpool may not be able to complete the quadruple but a treble is the next best thing. They travel to Paris to take on Real Madrid in the Champions League final. The Reds have already won the EFL Cup and FA Cup this season. Both those finals ended in goalless draws after 120 minutes. The chances of that happening in Paris don’t look high at all. Backing both teams to score looks a much better option. Liverpool kept a clean sheet against Chelsea in the FA Cup final but that’s the only time in their last six matches have they not conceded. Not just that but in those six games, they have conceded the first goal.

The Reds have had a smoother run to the final than their opponents. All six of their group games were won with Milan, Atletico Madrid and Porto beaten In 12 Champions League games, they have scored at least twice aside from a 1-0 home loss to Inter. They have beaten two teams each from Italy, Portugal and Spain on their way to the final with Villarreal and Benfica also defeated. They have had Salah and Van Dijk on the bench of late but it looks certain that both of those players will be starting the final on Saturday.

Real Madrid have had a much harder route to the final. It’s one that has seen them lose four games, including one in each of the knockout rounds. Early on in the group stages, they were beaten at home by Sheriff but won their other five group matches with Inter and Shakhtar Donetsk.

The last 16 saw them up against PSG and they lost the away leg 1-0. They trailed 1-0 in the home second leg before a Benzema hat-trick put them in the last eight. The quarter final tie with defending champions Chelsea looked to be going well when winning the away first leg 3-1 with Benzema again hitting a hat-trick. The second leg saw Real in trouble again as they went 3-0 and 4-3 down in the tie but for late goals (one in extra time) getting them through. It was another struggle in the semi-finals, losing the away first leg 4-3 and then going a goal down at home in the second leg. More late goals got them back into the tie and into the final. The La Liga champions now bid to make it wins against all of the top three teams in the Premier League. This really could go either way and both sides know how to come from behind. Go for both teams to score.
