James Milner tells Jamie Redknapp why he'll go first if Champions League final goes to penalties

No prizes for guessing who will step up first should the Champions League final go to a penalty shootout.

You’ll see James Milner position the ball, take eight steps back, place his hands on his hips, and then, as the Stade de France holds its breath, it’s him versus Thibaut Courtois.

As one of Jurgen Klopp’s ‘mentality monsters’, Milner is Liverpool’s tone-setter. As he was in the Carabao Cup final, scoring to the left of Kepa Arrizabalaga. As he was in the FA Cup final earlier this month, beating Edouard Mendy to the right.
