Real Madrid vs. Liverpool Prediction
It’s a tough task to find out the winners of the Champions League Final 2022 between the two finest teams in Europe.
The EPL outfit Liverpool have already won two English cups this season, the EFL Carabao Cup and the FA Cup, both on Penalties against Chelsea. They chased Man City all the way down to the final matchday in the EPL.
Juergen Klopp’s men are coming into the final with an 18-match unbeaten run in all competitions.
On the other hand, the Spanish giants Real Madrid have made it look easy to win the La Liga this season. They won their 35th La Liga by winning it this season with 4 matches to spare. Moreover, Carlo Ancelotti’s men showed their indomitable spirit by pulling out epic comebacks in the round of 16, quarter-finals, and semi-finals in the UCL this season.
The Los Blancos have suffered 4 defeats in their last 15 matches.
Real Madrid will look to grab their 14th UCL title to set a new record at the top. Liverpool, meanwhile, will look to complete their revenge for the defeat against Real Madrid in the UCL Final 2018 in Kyiv.
Real Madrid and Liverpool went head-to-head 8 times in the European competitions. Liverpool won the first 3 meetings between 1981 to 2009. The Reds have not defeated Real Madrid since 2009. Real Madrid won 4 and drew 1 of their last 5 meetings with Liverpool.
It will be a toe-to-toe battle between Real Madrid and Liverpool in the UCL Final 2022 at Stade de France. There is not much to separate them in terms of the quality of the players.
However, the Reds have proved themselves as a more solid team in both offense and defense for the past 3 months. With Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara back in the midfield, Sadio Mane scoring goals on a regular basis, and Mohamed Salah gunning for revenge, Liverpool may come on top in the Final. Though it will be difficult against insanely in-form Benzema and Vini Junior, we pick Liverpool to win the game and lift their 7th UCL title.
