Champions League final: Can Tottenham turn a Liverpool strength into a weakness?


Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp and Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino are both so adaptable that I am expecting Saturday's Champions League final to ebb and flow, with each of them able to react and change his tactics if the opposition gets on top.

But, however the game develops, one of the key battles in Madrid is going to be out wide.
I have watched Liverpool a lot this season and so much of their attacking threat comes from their full-backs overlapping, putting in dangerous deliveries and making things happen.

If you can stop them doing that, by pushing them back and giving them something to think about defensively, then it changes Liverpool's entire game plan.
Liverpool have the experience of last season’s final to draw upon and a great record over Spurs.  Liverpool have won nine of the last fourteen meetings between the teams in all competitions, losing just one.  We should see goals in another exciting Champions League final and one which sees Liverpool lifting the trophy.
