Liverpool Must Forget Real Madrid Defeat To Beat Spurs – Wijnaldum

Liverpool midfielder, Georginio Wijnaldum has said that Liverpool must forget last season’s Champions League final against Real Madrid if they plan to defeat Spurs and win their 6th UCL trophy.
Liverpool who were defeated 3-1 against Real in Kiev 12 months ago, head into this season’s final against Spurs as favorites, and this is because they got to the same stage last season.
Wijnaldum has now said victory will only be assured if they forget the past defeat.
His words to ESPN FC, “Let’s hope the outcome will be different this year,”
“I think last year we were all disappointed about how the final ended, but that’s football. We took it as a lesson and we will try and make a better end this year.
“I look at it as another game and another opportunity, so I don’t really think about what happened last year.
“You don’t want to think about the negative stuff. To reach the final is already a good thing, but the way it ended up [last year] was really hard for us, so that’s why I try to look forward and try to do it even better.
“I don’t think we have to make up for last year because we gave everything we had to win the final and unfortunately that didn’t happen.
“So I don’t really want to speak about making up. We just have to try and win it and see it as a new final.”
“I think it will be a different game than against Real Madrid,”
“They were experienced in the final and you could see also in the way they played against us that they were experienced in the final.
“But every game is a new game and it’s going to be a tough one. Hopefully not, so we can win it easy, but I don’t think that will happen because Totteham is a good side, they have good players and as a team they are quite good.
“A lot of people think we are favorites because we’ve won two times [against Spurs this season] and we finished higher in the Premier League, but that says nothing about the game we are about to play right now.
“This is one game, one final and anything can happen. They have a really good team like us, so it’s going to be difficult to win the game.”
