So, when can fans watch the finals of the top tier of English football? What could the possibilities be? Well, let’s take a dive and see what the figures are trying to convey.

Liverpool vs. Tottenham – How Did They Reach This Stage?

Liverpool managed to showcase one of the greatest comebacks in the history of Champions League. They did so after beating Barcelona 4-0, a win they grabbed in such a graceful manner. Not only did they overturn a three-goal first-leg deficit, but they also successfully advanced to their second successive final appearance. The team’s display of determination and passion had definitely stunned Lionel Messi and his boys.

Meanwhile, Tottenham displayed a miraculous run – a team no one really expected to reach the final stage. Their numbers, however, spoke otherwise. For instance, the club is the number one in terms of goals this season, which is the most any team in the tournament have ever done. They also became the third-highest team when it comes to passes, recording about 6,282 in total.

It is really interesting to see which football club will take the throne. And while everyone has their opinions, it is hard to say which team could prove better than the other. This is something fans should definitely check outcome Saturday, June 1, which is the official kick-off date of the 2019 Champions League final.
