Ahead of the Champions League final in Kiev on Saturday, the 67-year-old has delivered his strong verdict.

Real go into the showdown as favourites, having won the competition in the past two seasons.

But Jurgen Klopp’s men will be determined to stop them making it three successive triumphs.

Ex-Spain boss and two-time Champions League winner Del Bosque, though, feels Real have too much quality.

"Real Madrid have a great squad, and it's the best club in Europe right now,” Del Bosque told Spanish radio station COPE.

“They have to ratify that on Saturday. Real Madrid will beat Liverpool 4-1.

“I cannot find a single Liverpool player that improves Real Madrid, [not even] Salah.

"Bale and Benzema are very good.

“Benzema is a great player too, sometimes [he can go] cold, but he has given an extraordinary performance, and Cristiano makes them all better.”

Real ultimately finished third in the La Liga table, a whopping 17 points behind champions Barcelona.

And on Real’s disappointing domestic season, Del Bosque added: “Madrid have neglected La Liga.

“The Villarreal game was an example, and it had already happened more times. Their heads were disconnected from the game.

“In Europe, Bayern put them in trouble [too].”
