Champions League Final 2018: Real Madrid vs Liverpool

By

Real Madrid is once again in the final of champions league.


 Real has made it very clear that they are ready for a showdown, geared up to make history by winning 3 trophies in a row and Liverpool is seeking this prestigious award as they owe it to their fans. 

For Liverpool its 13 years past overdue.


Liverpool will play for sixth champions league glory when they take on champions Real Madrid who are seeking 13th Champions League glory and potential 3rd consecutive victory. Both teams have odds ranked up against each other and both are trying to come ahead. Real has finished domestic league La Liga securing the third position, which is worst in terms of points, being ranked down by rival Barcelona which happens to be 2018 Spanish Champ. 

There have been superstitions and speculation, lurking behind the curtain that every year that Real Madrid Basketball team has won Euro league Real Madrid has lost Champions league. Right now sitting here I felt like history is repeating itself. With the Royal marriage of 1981 (Prince of Wales & Lady Diana Spencer), the London club won FA Cup, Frankfurt won German Cup and Real Madrid lost Champions League final to Liverpool. 

 We have seen the Royal Wedding (Meghan Clark & Prince Harry), London Club won FA Cup, Frankfurt won the German Cup. Should we anticipate another WIN for Liverpool FC?

 Sweeping the sense of Déjà vu under the rug, both teams have had great Champions league run,. However, some say that Liverpool had an easy road to final which is absolutely not true. Real Madrid eliminated teams like Paris-Saint Germain, Juventus, and Bayern Munich. The ultimate fight has yet to comence. 

Who's got more juice?

Real Madrid is confident of a victory in Kyiv against Liverpool as full squad is fit and their big guns Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema (BBC) are back in form. Youngsters like Isco, Asensio and Lucas Vazquez are performing quite good and their midfield is, as usual, one of the best in Europe. They had slight issues in defense but with the return of Carvajal that is resolved with Sergio Ramos, Varane and Marcelo with help from the defensive midfielder and best game reader Casemiro. Their ball stopper Keylor Navas is doing great in the Champions League and questions of getting a new "crème de la crème" is fading from Bernabeu.
Liverpool is unstoppable in front of goal. Their combination is on the same level as BBC or MSD had once. They broke all goalscoring records in Champions League with an average of 5 goals against each team they kicked to the curb in knockout rounds. They have good midfield in the shape of Emre can, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner. No doubt they are at disadvantage without Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, potentially forced to play safe with the exploits demonstarted by Roma in the second leg of their Semi-Final. 

The men behind the curtain

Zizou (Zinedine Zidane) has proved himself one of the best managers in Europe by winning 2 Champions League, 1 La Liga title, 2 club world cups, 1 Spanish cup, 1 Spanish Super Cup, 2 UEFA Super Cups and 1 World’s Best Club Coach since joining Real Madrid in 2016. He has remarkably proven that he can be as good manager as he was a player.
Jurgen Klopp has won 2 German championships, 2 German cups and 2 German Super cups with Borussia Dortmund but with Liverpool, he has not won any title yet since joining Liverpool from Dortmund in 2015. But he has bought Salah from Roma. Club President wasn’t even much interested as he was thinking Salah was not worth £35 million.

WHO IS GOING TO GET CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2018 GLORY?

Real Madrid are once again favorites to win the Champions League after winning back to back in 2015/16 and 2016/17 and 3 Champions League titles in last 4 season, as they have experienced team in terms of Big Events like Champions League finals and to make a record of winning 3 consecutive Champions League in an era of such competitive football.
Liverpool are certainly underdogs even Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool legend Gerrard insist they aren’t underdogs against Real Madrid. But on their day they can beat any team as they proved it against Manchester City.
The key will be defense, whoever did better defending they will take away the Champions League trophy.

Here is what Players & Managers are saying about this year's Champions League Final between Real Madrid and Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp has said:
Desire can deliver Champions League dream for Liverpool
Zizou has said:
We are ready for Champions League final
Michael Owen has said:
When Real Madrid have to win, they do
Carlos Bacca has said:
If it’s difficult to win one champions league, imagine winning three in a row
Steven Gerrard has said for Liverpool:
Go and grasp it, go and seize the moment you have worked so hard for
Sergio Ramos has said:
Third champions league win would mean Real have defined an era
We are looking forward to Champions League final on 26th of May 2018 in Kyiv, Ukraine. Let us know in the comments what are your thoughts about the final.

The Life

By
Since we reach the age of understanding things, we think that feelings and concepts (undefined to us yet) that exist for reasons whatsoever, they should complete their purpose – perfection – which is impossible for a human to do. We are full of mistakes, we are uncertain, others expect a lot from us, and we can’t be everywhere. That is us trying not to disappoint them, and in doing so, we lose control of time – the unit of life. Love, Time, Death – the most important phenomenon in life. We feel for others, and we  love them in our unique ways. Soon the Time passes very quickly, and then you think of death – leaving everything behind. Just some moments before the death, you think of all the things you have done and for what?  So, right at this moment, when you are alive, living the life you only think of doing the right things, the right decisions that will lead you to not regret in that last moment of your life.  Focusing on what is that we have ...

Rockets VS Warriors in Western Conference Finals (Supremacy Fight)

By
The most anticipated matchup of the 2017- 2018 NBA Play Offs is Rockets going against the potential all-time great, Warriors is here, and so far it has not let down the fans. When Kevin Durant joined the 73-win team two summers ago, it was believed that this team will make other teams look like a pile of garbage. And more so, it was true for the last season when they ran over the teams like it was nothing. No team opposed any threat to the mighty Bay Area. The most resistance they faced was by Spurs in 1 st half till Kawahi Leonard got injured by Zaza. All of the experts were of the opinion that other teams should give up for at least four years and try to rebuild their teams from the scratch because Golden State is not going anywhere. But Houston Rockets has other things on their mind. While most teams were tanking they took it upon themselves to dethrone Golden State, they made trades and make necessary adjustments to go up against the Warriors. Regular Season This regular se...
