Steven Gerrard makes Champions League final prediction after watching Liverpool and Real Madrid train in Paris

Steven Gerrard has made his scoreline prediction for the Champions League final after watching Liverpool and Real Madrid train in Paris.

Premier League giants Liverpool and Spanish champions Real Madrid will battle to be crowned champions of Europe at the Stade de France on Saturday night.

Victory for Liverpool in the French capital would see Jurgen Klopp’s side secure their third trophy of the season following their FA Cup and EFL Cup wins.

The Reds had eyes on an unprecedented quadruple for much of the season but fell narrowly short in the Premier League, with Manchester city clinching the title in dramatic fashion on the final day of the season.

Real Madrid, meanwhile, are aiming to win a record-extending 14th Champions League and claim their second trophy of the campaign, having stormed to the La Liga title, finishing 13 points clear of El Clasico rivals Barcelona.

The Spanish heavyweights, who beat Liverpool in the 2018 final, have enjoyed a remarkable run in Europe this term, producing comebacks in knockout matches against Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Manchester City.

Liverpool legend and Aston Villa manager Gerrard watched both teams train at the Stade de France on Friday and later gave his scoreline prediction for the final.
