STEPHEN WRIGHT is expecting a goal fest in the Champions League final tomorrow - and he believes Liverpool can outscore favourites Real Madrid.

Free-scoring Liverpool have won admirers with their exciting, attacking football this season and they have been rewarded with a staggering 46 goals in the competition.

Their prolific front three - Mohamed Salah (10), Roberto Firmino (10) and Sadio Mane (nine) - have terrorised defence and have been the catalyst for a run to the showpiece in Kiev, Ukraine.

And former Liverpool defender Wright, who has played and coached at Wrexham in recent seasons, says the famous three can fire Jurgen Klopp's side to a sixth European Cup win.

"The way Liverpool have played this year, there is no doubt that they can win the game," said Wright.

"If they put on the kind of performance that they can do, they can beat Real Madrid.

"If the front three play the way they do, it is there for them."

When asked whether he would like to have faced the Anfield side's strikeforce, Wright, who played as a full-back and in the centre of defence, said: "No way!

"The movement and how quick they are, it is awesome to watch. Liverpool are a brilliant counter attacking team."

But Real Madrid, hunting a hat-trick of Champions League triumphs after winning the competition in both 2016 and 2017, don't lack firepower with Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Wales' own Gareth Bale vying for starts.

Although Zinedine Zidane's side have a reputation for having a leaky defence, Wright know they are always capable of outscoring the opposition with the quality they possess going forward.

"The two teams are set up very similar," said Wright. "Madrid cannot defend and Liverpool have not been able to defend.

"Both teams will go for it. We know Real Madrid can't defend and they always have that philosophy that they will score more goals than you.

"Their forward line is quality, they have got players in there who can do everything.

"But Liverpool are a good attacking side and they will play Madrid at their own game."

But while questions have also asked of Liverpool's defence, Wright believes the arrival of centre-half Virgil van Dijk, and emergence of full-backs Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson, has made them more solid.

"Van Dyke has come in, Alexander-Arnold has been awesome and Robertson has been an avid figure," said Wright. "They have been quality and Liverpool have been better in that area.

"But it is all about attacking and in the final it will be who scores the most goals.

"I am really looking forward to it, it should be a quality game."

Wright was in the Liverpool squad that famously won five trophies in 2001.

Gérard Houllier's men lifted the FA Cup and League Cup on home soil, and beat Alavés of Spain in the final of the UEFA Cup, with Wright an unused substitute, before adding the UEFA Super Cup and Charity Shield to the collection.

"The year we won five cups in one season was special," added Wright, who left Liverpool in 2002 and played for the likes of Sunderland, Stoke and Coventry before winning the FA Trophy at Wembley with Wrexham five years ago.

"It was great to be a part of it and pick up all those medals."
