Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher believes that his former team will beat Real Madrid in the final of the Champions League. He believes that the Spanish giants have been lucky en route to the final in Paris. Jurgen Klopp and his team are looking to secure their third trophy of the season after beating Chelsea in both the FA Cup and Carabao Cup final.
“I’ve watched Real Madrid in the Champions League this season and they’ve lost more games in the Champions League than Liverpool have lost all season in all competitions,” Jamie Carragher said. “Real Madrid are a very good team but they’re not as good as Man City and I don’t think they’re as good as Chelsea – even though they beat both of them. You can spin it both ways with the spirit, the winning, the coming back, but they’ve carried a lot of luck in those games, which you need. If you win every game in the last minute coming from behind if you’re that good a team you don’t get yourself in that position all the time.”
“Man City should have battered them, they should have won [their semi-final first leg ] 6-2 at home – and then they’re 3-0 down at home to Chelsea,” he added. “Of course, Real can win – it’s a one-off game. I just think if City or Liverpool were playing Real Madrid in a one-off game, having their team and playing near their best, they’d win the game. I’m confident.”
