Van Dijk is more than aware of the quality Madrid have in their ranks, but also showed confidence in his own team. He urged his team to remember how well they played to get to their first final in a decade.





"It’s been a great season for Liverpool and hopefully, we can finish it off in Kiev," said Van Dijk, as quoted by Mirror.





"We’re going to prepare very well. It’s going to be a tough game. We know they have so much quality. But we don’t need to forget that we have so much quality as well."





"We need to be going to Kiev with a lot of confidence. We’re there for a reason. We deserve to be there, so we need to show that, be brave and do our thing. Then we’ll see what’s going to happen."









Chris Hughton believes the whole country will be backing Liverpool to win their Champions League final against Real Madrid.

The Los Blancos are in the hunt for their third consecutive Champions League title, but facing a team as flamboyant as Liverpool will most certainly be a challenge. The Reds have scored a whopping 46 goals in 14 Champions League outings, this season, and Real must give it their all to halt their run on 26th of May.
