Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham Hotspur are trailing 1-0 to Liverpool in the Champions League final.
The much-anticipated Champions League final between Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool in Madrid this evening got off to a stunning start.
Inside the very first minute at Wanda Metropolitano, Liverpool were awarded a penalty, perhaps harshly.
Spurs midfielder Moussa Sissoko was adjudged to have handled the ball inside his own penalty box, and Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah did not make any mistake in converting the resulting spot kick.
Former Tottenham striker Roberto Soldado is following the match, and the 34-year-old Fenerbahce man does not believe that it was a penalty.
West Ham United star Declan Rice, who can operate as a defender or as a defensive midfielder, also seems to be of the same opinion.
As things stand, Liverpool are leading Tottenham 1-0, but there is still a long way to go in this match.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side have shown time and time again this season that they have what it takes to stage a comeback, and one should not be surprised if the North London outfit score twice and win the Champions League final.
