Frankly, if you don't have a ticket, I would stay in London.But if you like fun & games, Madrid is a pretty good place to be, especially if Spurs win!

Now, onto the teams and who's playing!

That's amoura Tottenham vs Liverpool: Ray Parlour explains why Dele Alli should be DROPPED for Champions League final

If Harry Kane returns to fitness, Mauricio Pochettino could be faced with a choice between Alli and semi-final hero Lucas Moura

After the rumble the opponents have to go play on the same side for England .........
England manager Gareth Southgate admits uniting Tottenham and Liverpool players after the Champions League final will be a "test of our management skills".

Spurs and Liverpool contest European football's top prize on 1 June, five days before England's Nations League semi-final against the Netherlands.

"We have got to make a quick but accurate assessment on where they are over those few days," Southgate said.

"It will be a very individual thing having played in such a big game."

Southgate selected six Tottenham players on Thursday for his initial 27-man squad for the inaugural Nations League finals in Portugal, with three Liverpool players also chosen.

That squad must be reduced to 23 players by 27 May and should England beat the Netherlands, they will face Portugal or Switzerland in the final on 9 June in Porto.

Spurs likely starting eleven:
Lloris
KWP/Aurier, Alderwiereld, Vertonghen, Rose
Sissoko, Dier, Eriksen, DeleAlli
Moura, Son

Bench: Lamela, Wanyama, Kane, Gazzaniga, Trippier, Davies, Foyth, Llorente, Skipp

Fourth substitute is allowed in extra time. Bench can contain 12 members (if I read the rules correctly).

Liverpool starting eleven ......
some Pool fan should have a say here!

Allison

Trent Matip Van-Dijk Robertson
Fabinho Henderson Wijnaldum
Salah Firmino Mane

Bench : Mignolet Milner Gomez Lovren Shaquiri Sturridge Origi

Yeh no way is Poch dropping Trippier

Surely we won't see Dier either.

Kane and Winks to start maybe?

Our team will be imo

Lloris
Trippier Toby Verts Rose
Sissoko Winks
Son Eriksen Dele
Kane

Winks already back in training so should start. Kane always comes straight back in. Can't see anyone else making way so think Poch will leave Moura on the bench.

Would be such a shame to leave Moura on the bench after his hatrick against Ajax, but Kane plays if he is fit it’s as simple as that. Maybe with Liverpool tiring, we can bring on a fresh and rapid Moura to do some damage. Me personally I would take Winks out and play Moura instead. Have a real attacking line up and go for it.

I would personally swap Moura for Dele in my team but Poch would never do that.

I think winks is crucial. He is calm on the ball, and imo no coincidence our last great performance was city at home, winks' last game. The Ajax and city away games were mental and we showed incredible heart but we couldn't control the game without winks

Itd be very brave to pick Kane and Winks when neither have played in a couple of months.
----------------------------------------------------------------------





Both I agree, but if Kane is fit he starts mate. You don’t leave out the best striker in the world in a CL final if he’s fit. If Mo Salah was out for 2 months and was pretty much ready for the CL final, no chance would you bench him. Kane is our best player and he plays if available.

All of these are speculations. I have a feeling Poch would’ve learnt a lot from that second half at Anfield.

That was the first time I have seen a side mount few counter attacks to Liverpool and made them looked very ordinary.
They overwhelmed by Sissoko running at them. Shame Kane was injured.
He isn’t anymore. Very big plus point.
Winks has become very good player and with Sissoko form a formidable barrier.
Think Poch will produce a surprise line up at the finals.

Liverpool already think it’s going to be a walk in the park. All the media outlets are backing them.

Just like they did with Ajax at Amsterdam.

Considering if winks doesn't play, Wanyama or Dier would, I don't think it's much of a risk at all!

Kane is the big decision as Moura is quality and he would probably take his spot.

Kane is listed as "not likely to play".

I think Moura starts with Son.
Vertonghen is listed as "back in training and likely to start"
So choose your starting elevens ... on both sides!

You're insane if you think that kwp or aurier start ahead of Trippier.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope springs eternal!!
I think if Trippier starts ..... we lose.

Don...TBH I've been talking to myself a lot about this match!
Its Pochettino's big chance to go out bigtime... since he's saying he's done here at Spurs.
Liverpool are obviously favorites.....
in fact I think Ajax would have had a better chance of beating Pool than we do.
But that is not to say I think we'll lose!

Winks is listed as injured and not likely to play, as is Sanchez and Kane.
That said, I hope Pool have been lulled into a false sense of security!

Winks and Kane both training but obvs. not match fit so both would be a risk.

UEFA announced a subs bench of 12 and a 4th sub available if it goes to ET.
