Real Madrid experience backed to overpower Liverpool's star trio by Gudjohnsen

Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane have been devastating in Europe's top competition this term but the former striker expects a Spanish win

Former Chelsea and Barcelona star Eidur Gudjohnsen claims Liverpool have arguably the most dangerous attacking trio in European football, but has backed Real Madrid to win the Champions League final.

Gudjohnsen, 39, lifted UEFA's biggest club prize with Barca in 2008-09, and has assessed the chances of the Reds and Madrid, as the holders from Spain aim to capture the title for the third campaign in succession.

The former Iceland international acknowledged the steady improvements Jurgen Klopp has made to his team, but Gudjohnsen expects Zinedine Zidane's side to come out on top at the NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium in Kiev.
