"It won't be a disappointment however they will have botched a potential chance to win this unbelievable prize," he said.
"In 2018 Madrid were presumably top choices in view of their experience. They had been there and dominated these sort of matches. However, Liverpool presently are so fruitful, they are top picks for this game.
"We as a whole realize they have their visit around the city on Sunday. It is an event to be glad for yet, god favor them, you could need to go on that visit with the Champions League in your grasp couldn't you?"
