The Liverpool man is a big fan of the Tottenham Hotspur striker.

Liverpool ace Andy Robertson spoke exclusively to Sky Sports and praised Tottenham hitman Harry Kane, labelling the Englishman as ‘world class’.

The Spurs striker is widely regarded as one of the most lethal finishers in the game, but he has not played a competitive game for seven weeks after suffering an ankle injury against Manchester City, so if he does play on Saturday night, he will be well short of match practice.

Tottenham will have to be on their very best form if they are to stand any chance of beating Liverpool, and Mauricio Pochettino will surely be very tempted to start Kane.

According to the Daily Mail, he has been declared fit for the final, but it remains unclear as to whether he will start in Madrid on Saturday.

And Liverpool left-back Robertson told Sky Sports how the 25-year-old England international has the potential to be a match-winner for Tottenham:

“It doesn’t really matter who plays. Harry Kane, of course he’s a world class striker, and whether he’s fit or not, he could be a match winner for them, but we obviously hope not.”

Liverpool are certainly favourites to win the final, but Tottenham will be confident of upsetting the Merseyside outfit.

The Reds won both games against Spurs in the Premier League this season, but in a one-off final, anything can happen.
