Roberto Carlos has raved about Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson to The Mirror ahead of the UEFA Champions League final against Real Madrid on Saturday evening.
The Real Madrid legend is a big fan of Liverpool full-backs Trent Alexander-Arnold and Robertson and has sung their praises.
Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and Carlo Ancelotti’s Madrid will lock horns with each other in the final of the UEFA Champions League at Stade de France in Saint-Denis on Saturday.
Roberto Carlos on Liverpool’s Andy Robertson
Carlos told The Mirror: “Alexander-Arnold is one of the very best full-backs in the world right now, and the same for Robertson who is so well qualified in his position and has such good ability on the ball. He is such a great reference point for the team.”
Big player v Real Madrid
In our view, Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson will play a big role against Real Madrid in the Champions League final on Saturday evening.
The Scotland international, who cost Liverpool an initial £8 million in transfer fees (BBC Sport), is very good going on the attack and is defensively solid as well.
We know that Real Madrid are good in attack, and they could play on the counter-attack today and aim to exploit the space that the Liverpool full-backs will leave behind.
Robertson has to be sharp on his side, and his energy and work ethic will be needed today.
It promises to be an exciting and intriguing game of football.
