A look ahead to Liverpool v Spurs

Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham Hotspur have an opportunity to take their place in history tomorrow evening in European football’s biggest club fixture.

Spurs will face Liverpool in the final for the chance to become the champions of Europe for the first time in their history, while the Reds are looking to secure their sixth title.

The Argentine has a fully fit squad to choose from after Harry Kane, Jan Vertonghen, Davinson Sanchez and Harry Winks have all returned to training in the build up to the clash at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.

Liverpool go into the match as favourites having finished an impressive 26 points ahead of Tottenham in the Premier League table, yet still missed out on a first league title in 19 years having been pipped by Manchester City by a single point.

After such a near miss in the league, the pressure is certainly on Jurgen Klopp’s side to finish the season with a trophy while the tag of underdogs will certainly suit Tottenham.

It should be a fantastic spectacle in Madrid between two sides who love to attack; Spurs fans will be wondering whether Pochettino brings in Kane from the start following his recent ankle issues.

We are 90 minutes away from glory, To Dare is to Do.
