Why you should back Liverpool

The Reds arguably are in better form than Real Madrid. Since the calendar turned to 2022, Liverpool has 26 wins, seven draws and only one loss in 34 matches across all competitions. Two of the draws were eventually won by the Reds on penalty kicks. Liverpool has outscored its opponents, 72-22, over that time.

One reason for the Reds’ success is their lack of a true weakness. They can play a high line or park in a defensive position if need be. They excel in counter attacking with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane leading the attack. They can attack quickly or with patient build-up play. Liverpool’s front three are exceptional, and their center backs can start the attack as well.

Why you should back Real Madrid

Los Blancos have an elite scorer and playmaker in Karim Benzema. The 34-year-old striker led La Liga this season in goals with 27, which was nine more than his closest pursuer. He also finished second in the league with 12 assists, one assist behind the leader, Ousmane Dembele. Led by Benzema, Real Madrid scored a La Liga-best 80 goals, 12 more than Barcelona.

In addition, history is on the side of Los Blancos. Real Madrid has lifted the Champions League trophy on each of the last seven occasions when it has appeared in the final. The last time Los Blancos reached the final, they beat Liverpool, 3-1, in 2018. Real Madrid has not lost in the final since 1981.
