Former Real Madrid manager, Vicente del Bosque has made serious claims ahead of the Champions League between Real Madrid and Liverpool in Kyyiv. According to him, no Liverpool player would get in Los Blancos’ strongest XI.
The two European giants collide for club football’s biggest prize on Saturday night, with Zinedine Zidane’s side favorites to pick up their fourth title in five years.
Liverpool have scored 17 goals in only six knockout matches so far this season, four more than their star-studded rivals.
But Vincente Del Bosque, who won the Champions League twice during his tenure at the Bernabeu, believes there is a gulf in quality between the two sides.
And the World Cup-winning coach believes this will show in the scoreline come the final whistle.
‘Real Madrid have a great squad, and it’s the best club in Europe right now,’ he told Spanish outlet COPE .
‘They have to prove that on Saturday. Real Madrid will beat Liverpool 4-1.
‘I cannot find a single Liverpool player that improves Real Madrid, (not even) Salah.
‘(Gareth) Bale and (Karim) Benzema are very good.
‘Benzema is a great player too, sometimes (he can go) cold, but he has given an extraordinary performance, and Cristiano Ronaldo makes them all better.’
