He ranks in the 94th for tackling and shot-creating actions. He is in the 99th percentile for progressive passes, and 98th for passes attempted and progressive carries. Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara hobbled off in the Reds' 3-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers yesterday, leading many to wonder whether he would be fit for the UEFA Champions League final in Paris next week.

Pitso Mosimane is confident Al Ahly will win the Caf Champions League final despite their injury crisis.

"I am confident that we will win the Caf Champions League. We won back-to-back titles in the past two years and 10 times in total. "There is no problem with playing every three days. So why not win the 11th title?"

Liverpool will need to bounce back from their Premier League heartbreak quickly if they are to claim Champions League glory when they face Real Madrid.

Liverpool won the first final back in 1981 (1-0), before Real Madrid beat Jürgen Klopp’s side 3-1 in 2018. The current-most is three, which was also by Real Madrid in the 2018 final (Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Sergio Ramos).

Taking place at the Stade de France, 2019 Champions League victors Liverpool will battle Real Madrid, winners of four UCL titles since the 2013-14 campaign.

For the reasons outlined above, I would play Liverpool up to -145 in regular time as I have it projected at -160. Add in its two group stage fixtures against Inter Milan and the discrepancy becomes even larger. In its last five UCL fixtures, Real’s offense has generated 1.76 xG/90 minutes. Additionally, Liverpool’s defense has played rock-steady in its last six UCL fixtures. Even if you remove the two Benfica matches from consideration, Liverpool’s offensive output drops to only 1.53 xG/90 minutes. This will be a rematch of the 2018 Champions League Final, which saw Real claim its third consecutive European crown after dispatching Liverpool, 3-1.

Thiago limped off against Wolves and Jurgen Klopp must now hope the midfielder recovers to face Real Madrid in the Champions League final in Paris.

Klopp has always wanted his players to show their fitness with a full training session before any game, but the clock is already ticking on that, with the midfielder now forced to rest the injury for several days. But given the proximity of the final, with just five days before the showpiece occasion with Real Madrid, that leaves little time for treatment to the Achilles, which is likely to be a Grade 1 injury, often referred to as tendonitis. After scans on Monday morning, the problem is not thought to be serious, with fears completely eased over a rupture to the Achilles, which would require surgery and rule the player out for several months.

Liverpool Star To Miss Champions League Final Against Real Madrid After winning the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, Liverpool now look forward to the Champions League final against Los Blancos on Saturday. After the disappointment of just missing out on the Premier League title, Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah is clearly in a determined mood heading into the Champions League final against Real Madrid at the weekend.

Liverpool will take on Real Madrid in the final of the Champions League on Saturday evening.

One individual who will be desperate to get revenge on Madrid is none other than Mohamed Salah, who saw his evening ended early by Sergio Ramos the last time the sides met in a European final. 'We're not done yet', wrote the Egypt international on Twitter as Saturday's showdown in the French capital edges ever closer. Liverpool missed out on securing a second Premier League title of Jurgen Klopp's reign on Sunday afternoon, with Manchester City rallying at home to Aston Villa to confirm their status as champions.
