If you hadn’t noticed, it’s the Champions League final on Saturday as Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool go head-to-head in Madrid.Atletico Madrid’s Wanda Metropolitano will play host to what promises to be an epic finale to a stunning competition – and you can hear it live on talkSPORT.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp now has a bit of a reputation for losing showpiece events, but that’s not the omen here.It turns out the last time one of his side’s scored four goals against a Spanish team in a Champions League semi-final match they ended up losing the final – to a club from the same country.Back in 2013, Borussia Dortmund thrilled the continent with their brilliant batch of stars, including Robert Lewandowski, and he smashed four past Real Madrid at the Westfalenstadion.They lost 2-0 in the away leg at the Bernabeu but went through 4-3 on aggregate – sound familiar?Well, at Wembley they battled it out with Bavarian behemoths Bayern Munich but a last minute Arjen Robben goal saw Dortmund lose 2-1 in the final.Klopp will be hoping for a different outcome this time.

Tottenham Hotspur shouldn’t have too much to fear going into the game as underdogs against English opponents.Their confidence might get a kick too if they listen to some club legends who visited them in training this week.Back in 1972 Spurs reached the UEFA Cup final and, much to annoyance of the players’ wives, they wound up playing Wolverhampton Wanderers.It was strange for our wives because our wives were promised an all-expenses-paid away trip to the final if we ever reached it,said legendary forward Martin Chivers. “So they started dreaming of Madrid, Paris and Rome; and where did we finish? They weren’t enamoured to go to Wolverhampton, no.”Chivers, though, loved it at Molineux in the first leg of the tie and scored twice, including a hammered effort from range.Spurs went on to win 3-1 on aggregate after a 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane.

Manchester City’s three-cup haul this season was mighty impressive and the only side to stop them completing a historic quadruple was Spurs, as they ended Pep Guardiola’s Champions League dreams.It was a thrilling quarter-final tie which saw Spurs victorious with a 1-0 win at their new stadium and, despite a dramatic 4-3 defeat in Manchester, a VAR decision in added time put them into the semi-finals.It’s not the first time Spurs have stopped a team winning a quartet of major trophies though.In 1999 they beat Manchester United in the League Cup and they went on to lift the trophy at Wembley thanks to a diving header from Danish midfielder Allen Nielsen.Surely lightning can’t strike twice, can it?

Home is where the heart is and it might also provide the biggest clue to what the scoreline might be.Liverpool’s Anfield stadium is one of the most famous in world football and no-one enjoys going there for matches – just ask Barcelona.And what is the postcode?L4 0TH – Yes, you’ve got it – Liverpool 4-0 Tottenham Hotspur.
