Man City ace Rodri makes Champions League final prediction ahead of Liverpool FC vs Real Madrid

Manchester City midfielder Rodri has made his prediction for Saturday's Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid.

It has been an incredible week for the Spanish midfielder. His equaliser at the Etihad Stadium last Sunday against Aston Villa helped the Blues eventually overcome their opponents to secure the Premier League title.

After suffering the huge disappointment of missing out on the final day to City, Liverpool have had to dust themselves down to go again in the Champions League final against Real Madrid. Rodri knows both Liverpool and Real very well having faced them numerous times throughout his career.

Madrid pulled off a shocking comeback to beat Rodri's City at the Bernabeu to set up their final with the Reds. In an interview with AS, the 25-year-old gave his thoughts on the game in Paris.

"Liverpool are such a tough rival. Madrid is better on the big stage, but as a team Liverpool master every part of the game," he said.

"Before they hurt you on the counter, now they’ve got so many more ways to attack you. They are solid in both boxes.

"Madrid have amazing players and experience. In a single game, anything can happen."
