Former Liverpool star Andrea Dossena believes Liverpool could overwhelm Ajax in the Champions League final with their intensity, if the Dutch giants progress past Tottenham Hotspur this evening.
Liverpool produced a shock 4-0 win over Barcelona at Anfield Tuesday night to overturn a three-goal deficit from the first leg and reach the Champions League final.
The Reds will face the winners between Tottenham and Ajax in the other semi-final, in Madrid, where the Champions League final will take place next month.
Dossena believes that Liverpool will carry huge momentum into the final due to the way they overcame the odds and beat Spanish champions Barcelona in the semi-finals.
And he feels they could be the clear favourites to win their sixth European Cup if Ajax reach the final as the Reds could dominate the Dutch with their physical and intense football.
Asked if Liverpool are favourites now to win the Champions League, the former Reds defender told Italian outlet Tutto Mercato: “From the adrenaline and enthusiasm that was generated from last night’s game, I would say yes.
“We are still waiting for the result of the semi-final tonight.
“But if Ajax go through I think the Reds would be favourites because of their physicality and intensity.”
Liverpool lost the Champions League final last year to Real Madrid.
