The final of biggest club competition, Uefa Champions League is almost upon us. This year the two premier league teams in Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur will go head to head against each in order to lift the prestigious trophy.
This year, it can be said that English clubs have broken the dominance of German and Spanish teams. For a neutral fan of English football, this is a dream final.
Liverpool will be looking to redeem themselves after a bizarre loss at the hands of Real Madrid last year at the same stage. Moreover, they lost the chance to win their first premier league title in three decades by a mere single point and would want some silverware to show for their amazing season.
On the other hand, Tottenham Hotspur has the chance to prove those who criticize them for the lack of trophies wrong.
Before going into a match, here is a look at the three players who the world will have an eye on for this match.
#3 Mohamed Salah
Mohamed Salah has been nicknamed as the "Egyptian Wizard" by his fans and Salah has certainly lived up to his name. Last year he was expected to be the player who could snatch away the game from Real Madrid but unfortunately, due to a shoulder injury, Salah was subbed off in the first half and led to a 3-1 defeat for Liverpool in a match that became famous for some errors by goalkeeper Loris Karius.
This season the Egyptian has continued to impress football pundits and is certainly the key player if the Reds want to win the game and finally end the trophy drought. Salah has managed to net 4 goals in 11 appearances in this season's competition and will want to be on the scoresheet in the final and lead his team to victory.
#2 Sadio Mane
If Mohamed Salah has been carrying the hopes of Egyptian fans, Sadio Mane is arguably the biggest star of the Senegal national team. Manes scored a goal in last year's final; which leveled the scores for a brief period and gave the Reds a ray of hope.
Mane has managed to have an even better season than last year in 2019. Being the joint golden boot winner in the Premier League, he would be someone who would be extremely important for Jurgen Klopp's side in Madrid.
#1 Harry Kane
If Liverpool have the magic trio of Salah, Firmino, and Mane on one side, Tottenham is not behind in attacking quality with the likes of Harry Kane, Son, and Lucas Moura. In terms of skills, we can argue both sets of players are near about equal. It is only the matter of who can perform on the night and bring ultimate glory for their team.
Harry Kane has been the main star for Tottenham for the last three to four seasons or so. The Englishman will be under incredible pressure to lead his team to victory and finally win a trophy at the club level.
Kane has scored 5 goals in 8 games in this year's Champions League but the main concern for Spurs is that he not yet declared fit to play the final. So, there is a good possibility that the 25-year-old might not feature; which will increase the pressure on the other attacking stars and Christian Eriksen.
