Other than Karim Benzema, the striker may not be experienced enough at Real Madrid. But every player in Madrid is very talented. And at any moment they can become terrible for the opponent. Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo are good enough players. The midfield and forward of both teams are strong enough. So I think the team with the best defender will be able to win the Champions League.
Both teams will feel their CBs and goalies are good enough to handle anything so team that makes the most mistakes loses, that's all. Striker quality's probably a lot better at Liverpool, but Benzema and Vinicius will create enough. Midfield probably matched.
Liverpool will want the blistering fast start, knock in a couple of goals and then remain in mid-gear for second half to try snatch one more.
Real will be Real.
No one wants a penalty shootout, certainly not me haha. 2 in a season is enough (not counting the additional one we had to do in EFL cup).
