Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane believes that there won't be any surprise factor in the Champions League final against Liverpool on Saturday as both sides know each other very well.

The two sides face each other in the final of the Champions League in Kyiv on 26th May with Los Blancos starting as the favourites to retain the trophy they have won for the last two years.




The Spanish giants are now aiming to win the European Cup for a 13th time.

Zidane has brushed off the favourites tag and is not willing to underestimate Liverpool, despite his team's good Champions League record.
 


Zidane thinks Jurgen Klopp's side have played wonderful football throughout the season, both in the Premier League as well as in the Champions League and have the ability to cause problems.

And therefore Zidane insists that there will be no surprise factor involved in the game.

"They have had a great season, in the Champions League and in the league", Zidane said at a press conference.

"They can cause us problems, we know that.

"We are not going to be surprised. Nor them with us.

"We know each other very well."

Real Madrid have already lost to an English team in this season's Champions League, going down against Tottenham Hotspur in the group stage.
