Five things Liverpool need to do to beat Real Madrid in Champions League Final

#5 Use pace to hurt Madrid

Liverpool have scored a record-breaking 46 goals in this season's Champions League

A recurring theme for Liverpool this season has been the way they have hurt the opposition and killed games in just a few minutes. The pace in their attack is one of the biggest strengths of the team this season. When Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino are in form, they are unstoppable. They can do some serious damage to any team in Europe.

The two African wingers will have pace to burn in Kiev. They can really cause major problems to Real's full-backs, as they have done to many full-backs across England and Europe this season. His pace is one of the main reasons Salah has made such a sudden and immediate impact at Liverpool. If Liverpool get an opportunity to counter-attack, it could be disastrous for Madrid.

The quickness and the flair of Liverpool's front three can take the game to any opponent and kill them off in a matter of minutes. It has happened to almost every team the Reds have faced in the Champions League this season. 46 goals in Europe is no joke, and 31 of them have been scored by Salah, Mane and Firmino. Pace is Liverpool’s main weapon at the moment.

Jurgen Klopp has built something special here, at Liverpool. However, the only way to symbolise this great new era in Liverpool's history is to win a trophy. Saturday is a huge opportunity for this wonderful group of players to rise to immortality, and they can very well do it.
