Liverpool star Divock Origi says the Reds will be ‘confident’ heading into the Champions League final with Tottenham.

Origi played a key part in Liverpool reaching the final, scoring twice against Barcelona in a thrilling 4-0 victory over Barcelona in the semi-finals.

The Belgian striker is aware of the challenge Tottenham will pose, but believes if Liverpool continue to prepare for the match as they have done, they will be able to handle Spurs.

He told Liverpool’s official website: “They have a super team,” he said. “We played against them a couple of times and we know they have danger from all angles, which makes the game so beautiful. It’s going to be a special game for us.

“It will be a mountain to climb for us – but a good mountain. With preparation and training, we’ll feel confident for the game.”

Liverpool only lost one league game all season, and despite narrowly missing out on the Premier League title to Manchester City, they have good reason to be confident.

The Reds beat Spurs twice this season, winning 2-1 on each occasion.

Origi though treads the line well between confidence and arrogance, paying Tottenham their dues. Spurs deserve to be in the final, and will believe that Liverpool are beatable in a one off game.
