Liverpool Starting XI Prediction vs Tottenham Hotspur (Champions League Final)

May 30, 2019 By paulmbanks Leave a Comment

Are Liverpool FC just built for European competition? Is it simply in their DNA to succeed in the UEFA Champions League? Saturday evening might bring more credence to this idea as the Reds go for their sixth UCL/European Cup in Madrid against Tottenham Hotspur.

Like United in the league or Arsenal in the FA Cup, the UCL seems to be Liverpool’s specialty. That’s part of why they’re so heavily favored this weekend. If you’re doing any sports betting this week, you’ll see the UCL final odds strongly on the side of the Reds. The main reason for their status as heavy favorites though is their extremely dominant form. It hasn’t resulted in a trophy yet, but that is likely to change in a couple days.

Eden Hazard Believes Europa League Win will Be Chelsea Goodbye

May 29, 2019 By paulmbanks Leave a Comment

Entering the UEFA Europa League final, Chelsea forward Eden Hazard said that winning the match would make for the perfect farewell. Mission accomplished, as the Belgian bagged a brace and the Blues routed Arsenal 4-1 in a London derby staged in Baku, Azerbaijan.

As of now, the match will most likely be remembered going forward for the dreadful lack of atmosphere, empty seats and logistical travel issues that kept fans of both clubs away. However, it’s possible that this game, in time, might be better remembered for the dominant performance by Eden Hazard in his Chelsea send-off.
