Liverpool are set for a dramatic finale to a spectacular campaign, as the Reds prepare to make their first appearance in the Champions League final since losing to AC Milan in 2007.
The five-time champions face a difficult test if they’re to return to the summit of European football, as they come toe-to-toe with a Real Madrid side who have won three Champions League titles in the past four years, including two in succession.
However, Liverpool ace Sadio Mane is confident that his side can defeat to serial European champions in the final in Kiev later this mont, making the bold claim in quotes published by EirSport.
“We honestly believe we can beat them. I can say at this moment we do have a lot of respect for Madrid, they are one of the best teams in the world, but we are Liverpool we are strong and we can beat any team in the world.”
“We are going to go there and fight for the fans, for the club, fight without fear and win the final. We have the players. We can score goals, we have shown that and there is nothing to be afraid of for us.”
Liverpool have two Premier League fixtures before clashing with Zinedine Zidane’s side, tackling Chelsea on Sunday and finishing their campaign seven days later against Brighton.
