(Reuters) - Liverpool are overwhelming favourites to win the Champions League title when they face Tottenham Hotspur in the final in Madrid on June 1, former England striker and television pundit Gary Lineker has said.
Lineker, who spent three seasons at Spurs between 1989 and 1992, pointed to the 26-point gap in the Premier League table between runners-up Liverpool and his fourth-placed former team as evidence of a massive gulf between the sides.
"But, as we know in football, the best teams don't always win, which is one of the things that makes it so special." "Klopp is a massively enthusiastic, passionate man," Lineker said."This Liverpool side very much reflects his personality -- very dynamic, great energy. He's clearly very intelligent, and he's a brilliant football man who shows his passion.
