The former Liverpool and Real Madrid striker has predicted the final score of the upcoming Champions League final between his old clubs.
Michael Owen has backed Liverpool to beat Real Madrid by a 3-1 scoreline in the Champions League final.
The Englishman’s two former clubs will lock horns at the showpiece event in Paris this Saturday. It’s the second time in four years they’ve met at this stage of the competition. The last encounter ended in a 3-1 win for Real Madrid in Kyiv in 2018.
This time around, however, Owen expects the Reds to prevail as winners in the City of Light.
“For Liverpool, it wasn’t quite enough to win the league on Sunday,” he told Betvictor.
“A cup treble would still be a brilliant season for the club. The only worry entering this game is the injury doubts in midfield, if Klopp can get most of the first 11 fully fit, I really fancy Liverpool’s chances.
“Real have done brilliantly to reach this final, but I’m not sure they should have got this far. They’ve produced some improbable comebacks at the Bernabeu, I don’t think they will be able to do likewise in a neutral ground.
“I think Liverpool will have too much energy, pace and quality for this Real side. I’ll never write Real off, but I think Liverpool will score a few against what can be a suspect defence. 3-1 is my prediction.”
Which team is the favorite to win?
At the time of writing, 
the bookmakers have Liverpool pinned down as the favorites. Bet365 has odds of 2.00 listed for Jurgen Klopp’s side to win the Champions League final. A Real Madrid triumph is priced at 3.50.
