On Saturday, Liverpool and Real Madrid will meet in the Bosses Association final for the second time in five years in Paris, with Jurgen Klopp’s side hoping to finish the season on a strong note, while the Spanish giants will rely on Karim Benzema to inspire them to a fourteenth European Cup title.
The final promises to be a fitting end to the European season, with Liverpool aiming to win their fourth Champions League in four seasons after losing 3-1 to Genuine in Kyiv in 2018, when Mohamed Salah was injured in the first half and Gareth Bunch scored twice for the Spaniards. Victory would complete a mission in which Liverpool won the English Association Cup and FA Cup, and finished only one point behind Premier League champions Manchester City. “If you’re a football fan, you know what my young men have accomplished so far this season,” Klopp remarked on Friday.

“However, we all recognize you’re determined by the color of the trophy after a game.”
“I’m overjoyed and grateful for what we’ve accomplished thus far; it’s simply remarkable.” I’ll feel better if we dominate the game, and that’s all I’m concerned about,” Klopp said, who was aided by the news that midfield duo Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara are fit to play.
Benzema is the focus of attention –
This season, he has scored many times in a row to lead Genuine to the Spanish crown, and he is the favorite to win the Ballon d’Or.
“He is without a doubt perhaps the best player on the planet, presumably the most fantastic forward on the planet, and I’m confident the most underestimated player perhaps ever,” UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin told AFP on Friday.
