True, without Benzema Madrid is like losing a goalscoring striker. That was evident in some games Madrid played a draw and even lost. Of course the rumors of Mbaape's arrival to Madrid I hope are true. This is regeneration, Benzema is getting older and he may not be able to survive for 4 more years. As for the Finals, it's hard for both teams to have the same great opportunity. Both teams are equally good. They have the same statistics. But I hope Madrid will win, because I am a Madrid fan.
You have expectations of seeing Real Madrid win their 14th Champions League title this season, and the same goes for the Liverpool fans who are very excited to see their team win their 7th title of the season. Both have equal chances and really I think it's hard to guess who will win it.
History says that Real Madrid are better at winning the Champions League title in every final they can reach, but who knows because Liverpool also want to win it from Real Madrid.
If we look at the squad of both teams I think we can certainly say that Liverpool seems to be the better one but Real Madrid is the one who have a lot more experience in the Champions League compared to Liverpool.
To be honest, for some reason I think that Liverpool is going to win the Champions League final. but when I look at the competition that Real Madrid faces in the Champions League, Real Madrid beat PSG, Manchester City, and teams like these to reach the finals. and we can say that if Real Madrid can beat those teams they will be able to beat Liverpool as well.
