May 26! I’m already a ball of nerves. Cannot wait.
The big question here is, how will Madrid line up? I’ve been looking at Zidane’s 4-4-2 and 4-3-3 set ups, and both seem to have real gaps that Liverpool can exploit especially if Carvajal is still out.
That said, as awesome as TAA has been, dealing with Ronaldo and Marcelo is another level, especially if Salah stays high to try to exploit the space Marcelo leaves. If Wijnaldum is asked to slide over and help cover the flank, Benzema or Isco might be able to make a lot of trouble in the middle.
But really, who knows? It’s going to bombastic and my gut tells me Liverpool will be up 2 with a half hour to go...and I can’t imagine being in a more nerve wracking spot.
