AS Roma 4-2 Liverpool (6-7 aggregate): 5 Talking Points

#1 Champions League final will be just the way it should be; unpredictable

Can Klopp get his side to pull off the unthinkable at Kiev?

Liverpool have consistently taken the game to their opposition and have had no issues with finding the net this season. At the same time, Real Madrid often look a bit out of sorts when things don't pan out to plan.

Zinedine Zidane's men haven't been as convincing as Liverpool have been through this UEFA Champions League campaign and for this exact reason, the final at Kiev will be an absolutely unpredictable encounter.

There will be plenty of goals, that's sure. These are two teams that strongly believe that positive, high-stakes fast-paced attacking football that yields goals is the way to go about their business.

This will be the 4th Champions League final that Real Madrid will be featuring in in 5 years and their experience could be a defining factor. But with an unstoppable Liverpool being the underdogs here, there is no saying which way that one's going to go.
