Thiago is in training this afternoon. Very very good news.

Huge bonus if he's fit for Sat, the betting is right with Liverpool at evens, but 4/7 to lift the cup is the better option

A fully fit Liverpool first team win this hands down.

What are the bookies offering?

PSG, Chelsea and City thought the same. Game is totally 50/50 imo

I agree.
I think Liverpool are the better side, but Real are on some run and will have gotten great belief from the previous rounds.

Liverpool are on some run, unbeaten in the league and have won both domestic cups..

Madrid can certainly pull a rabbit out of a hat, but soon enough they'll get caught out. Whether being able to rest players physically and mentally before this game is a benefit we'll know on Sat night.. I'll be in the Crum though so will miss it

Read somewhere that Thiago sat out training this morning but Fabinho trained.  I think if Thiago is 75% is fit he'll start or come on.

Klopp on Thiago: "I only met him inside, there's a good chance. It's surprisingly good. The good news overnight was that it was not that bad."

Expected to train from tomorrow.

Great to hear that.

They're going to have to put Thiago through a strenuous enough  session today or tomorrow, and I just can't see him making it. Gutted for him if that's the case. It does look like Fab will be ok.

(I just caught the end of Phil Neal's career, so maybe I'm being harsh on him, but for me Steve Nicol would be my choice as best Liverpool right back. Jim Beglin looked potentially great as well on the left, but unfortunately his career was cut short so ended up unproven).

Whoever started this Harry Kane to Liverpool rumour is probably the same bollix who said Villa had made it 3-3 vs City

Rob Jones is another that could have gone on to have agreat liverpool career but was hampered by injuries

[brokencrossbar1]

Rob Jones was could have been a great. I remember at the time that Crewe were producing a pile of great young players, mid 80's to Mid '90s. Danny Murphy, David Platt, Geoff Thomas, Robbie Savage, all played for Crewe, Craig Hignett. All went on to had good careers. Platt obviously the stand out but Rob Jones could have been special.

So just a normal Friday then eh?

That also 😂😉

The closer the game gets the more worried i'm about Madrid!  It could be another long night!  Liverpool have never won a European Cup easily.  Madrid have a good few wily players and manager.  Modric is a tricky boy to get the ball off.  I just hope our forwards are clinical when they get their chances.

[J70]

I think all else being equal, Liverpool are a superior team.

However, Liverpool have looked very leggy over the past few weeks. Not surprising, obviously.

If it goes to extra time, I can seriously see Liverpool playing for penalties as they'll be out on their feet. It was a similar situation in the FA Cup Final.

On the other hand, they may be the sharper side earlier on, so hopefully a good, fast start to put them in the driver's seat.

A repeat of their 2019 start wouldn't go amiss.

24 hours to go and I have to admit I am anxious about this one. Having said that I am glad we are not facing a full strength Chelsea or Man City.
