On May 28 in Paris, Liverpool and Real Madrid will face each other in the Champions League final, a great mass of European football.
Real Madrid come out of a huge run during which the people of Madrid successively eliminated PSG, Chelsea (defender) and Manchester City. Meanwhile, the Reds got the better of Inter Milan, Benfica and Villarreal.
Despite this more complicated course on paper than that of Jurgen Klopp’s men, Thierry Henry, consultant for CBS Sports, does not see Real lifting a 14th cup with big ears. “Personally, I think Liverpool will win the Champions League. They are stronger than Madrid. To make this final even bigger, the two favorites for the Ballon d’Or are Mané and Benzema”, also appreciates the Frenchman.
In addition to the prediction on the final winner, Thierry Henry also gave his opinion on the future winner of the Ballon d’Or. “I still believe Benzema is up front, but if Mane wins with Liverpool and they do the quadruple, he’s a pretty serious opponent. It would be great for Africa, but I still bet on Benzema.”
“Europe is afraid of Real. Real is afraid of Barça”
During his interview, the former Barca player also spoke regarding the Real Madrid situation. The club from the Spanish capital inflicted a fantastic comeback on PSG before putting the cover back once morest Manchester City. At the same time, Carlo Ancelotti’s men were once once more champions of Spain. But that did not prevent the former Catalan striker from sending a spade to the people of Madrid. “All European clubs are afraid of Real Madrid and Madrid are afraid of Barcelona,” he said.
