The quadruple is gone for Liverpool but there’s still the small matter of a cup treble to fight for as they prepare to do battle once again with Real Madrid in the Champions League final on Saturday night. The Reds are still smarting from Real’s 3-1 win over them in 2018 and Mo Salah, who went off injured in that game, has declared they have unfinished business with the Spanish champions.

Liverpool FC God and Paddy Power ambassador Phil Thompson is primed and ready for the big match in Paris and he’s come prepared with a big-priced punt up his sleeve for the biggest game in Europe. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at Thommo’s Liverpool v Real Madrid tips.

Saturday 8pm: Liverpool v Real Madrid

Real Madrid just come back fighting. PSG, Chelsea, Man City. After 89 minutes at the Bernabeu I thought we were going to be playing Manchester City but somehow this side just seems to find a way.

Let’s hope they don’t manage it on Saturday night and it’s Liverpool that win. Real Madrid in Paris is when I had my greatest moment in football, captaining Liverpool against them in the 1981 European Cup final, so it brings back all kinds of memories.

Alan Kennedy’s solitary goal won it but I think this will be a little bit different. Real won La Liga easily by 13 points, scoring 80 goals and conceding just 31.

But as we’ve alluded to they had some struggles against others in this competition and I think Liverpool will be slight favourites. They got 92 points and still didn’t win the league, scoring 94 goals and conceding less than Real Madrid.

A couple of injury concerns for Liverpool could change things but I’m going for Liverpool to win 3-1. I fancy Mo Salah, he’s got a score to settle with Madrid after what happened in Kiev so I think Salah will score Anytime.
