Which Team Has The Best Chances To Win 2020/21 Champions League?

4y ago

Liverpool, under Jürgen Klopp in his final season (if he hasn’t left already), have been one of England’s most dominant sides, blending attacking football with defensive solidity. Their frontline, featuring Mohamed Salah, Darwin Núñez, and Luis Díaz, has been electric, while Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai provide creativity from midfield.

Newcastle, on the other hand, have continued their resurgence under Eddie Howe. Their high-energy pressing style and counter-attacking prowess make them a formidable opponent. Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon have been standout performers in attack, while Bruno Guimarães pulls the strings in midfield. However, their defense, led by Sven Botman and Kieran Trippier, has had shaky moments this season, particularly against elite opposition.

In their previous encounters, Liverpool have generally dominated, but Newcastle’s rapid improvement means this final won’t be straightforward. Their last cup final meeting came in the 2023 EFL Cup final, where Manchester United edged Newcastle 2-0. Howe’s men will be desperate to avoid another heartbreak.

Tactical Breakdown

Liverpool’s Strengths: Quick transitions, high pressing, and individual brilliance up front.
Newcastle’s Strengths: Organized pressing, direct attacking play, and set-piece threats.
Key Battles: Salah vs Burn, Isak vs Van Dijk, and Guimarães vs Mac Allister in midfield.

Liverpool’s experience in finals gives them an edge, but Newcastle’s hunger for a first major trophy in decades will fuel their fight.

Prediction for the Match: Liverpool vs Newcastle

Newcastle will put up a strong fight, but Liverpool’s experience, depth, and attacking firepower should see them through. Expect a high-intensity game, possibly with late drama.

🏆 Predicted Score: Liverpool 2-1 Newcastle

🔥 Potential Scorers: Salah, Núñez (Liverpool); Isak (Newcastle)
