Champions League Final - Liverpool v Tottenham

The favourites tag will be with Liverpool. 6 losses over this entire season, one in the league, against a team who might wrap up a domestic treble over the next ten days. Spurs have lost 17 over the course of the season. Essentially, over the course of the season Spurs have been much more beatable in the league and could finish over 20 points behind Liverpool and pip Arsenal on goal difference to 4th place.

Ah you know how it is, they'll find their way to fans via competitions, favours, people who know people etc

Not exciting because we get to see them play each otehr regularly, but they're two good teams.

There’s more than 2 countries in Europe Bob!

You’re hard to please. Explain. Familiarity of the teams. Other than Bayern and Dortmund, same country finalists usually disappoint. And not having Ajax in it just seems have taken the gloss off it.  I hope I'm wrong  The lack of competition in the Champions League has to be affecting it a little bit. I have no idea of the viewing figures for it, but they must be way down for the group stages at least ?Ajax offered a little bit of unpredictability, the way Leicester did for the EPL a few years ago, but it is all very staid. People are acting like Spurs getting to the final is a miracle! For a competition for the 'champions'() of 54 of UEFA's 55 members, it is a bit boring that the only conceivable winners in the future are 10-12 clubs from the same 5 leagues. The 4 EPL teams(from 6 realistic qualifiers) , Barcelona and Real(Atletico at a push), PSG, Juventus and Bayern Munich.  What odds would you get on a winner outside that group in the next five years? Football fans used to laugh at the European rugby competitions, but they are very similar in terms of competitiveness now.
