Thierry Henry has explained why he thinks the Champions League final has an “extra spice” for one Liverpool player.
The Reds booked their place in the competition’s showpiece, which takes place at the Stade de France in Paris later this month, after they beat Villarreal 3-2 in Spain on Tuesday to complete a 5-2 aggregate victory.
The other semi-final, on Wednesday, then saw late drama as Real Madrid knocked out Manchester City to set up a showdown with Liverpool, for whom it will be a third Champions League final in five seasons. City were minutes away from reaching the final for the second year running, before a late brace from Rodrygo and an extra-time penalty from Karim Benzema won it for Madrid, 3-1 on the night and 6-5 on aggregate.
