Graeme Souness has described Tottenham Hotspur as 'fortunate' to have reached the Champions League final, where they will face Liverpool on Saturday night. The former Liverpool midfielder, speaking to Virgin Sport, questioned how many Spurs players would make a combined starting XI from the two sides.
Souness highlighted Tottenham's inconsistent season, noting they lost 19 games in all competitions yet still reached the final. He singled out Christian Eriksen as the only Tottenham player who might force his way into a combined team, adding, 'The moment you try and apply logic to football you've come unstuck.'
Both Mauricio Pochettino and Jurgen Klopp are seeking their first trophy as managers of their respective clubs. Liverpool reached the final after a stirring 4-3 aggregate win over Barcelona, while Tottenham staged a dramatic comeback against Ajax, progressing on away goals after scoring three times in the second leg.
Former Liverpool defender Steve Nicol predicted a 2-1 win for his old side, suggesting a dramatic finish with Harry Kane scoring after coming on as a substitute. 'We'll be biting our nails, hanging on,' Nicol said.
