Liverpool will be desperate to end the season on a high.
Alan Shearer suggested that it will be a nightmare for Liverpool if they fail to win the Champions League this season, when writing his regular column for the Sun.
The Reds were incredibly unlucky not to win the Premier League title this season, having finished up with 97 points, and it was only due to Manchester City’s brilliance that the didn’t end their 29-year wait for a top flight title.
Nothing can be taken away from Liverpool this season, however.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have been mightily impressive in every single department this season, both domestically and on the continent, and reaching back-to-back Champions League finals deserves huge praise in itself.
Shearer highlighted how important it will be for Liverpool to beat Tottenham in Madrid, however, when writing his regular column for the Sun:
“It would be a nightmare for Liverpool if they do not win a trophy this season. If they still end this campaign without any silverware, you have to fear what it will do to their confidence and mentality. It would be a long, hard summer for Liverpool.”
Last season’s defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League final will undoubtedly be playing on the Liverpool players’ minds, but they will also know that if they perform to their very best, they will most likely leave the Spanish capital with the trophy.
And if the Reds are victorious at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, it will be the first time in seven attempts that Klopp has won a major final.
