El Hadji Diouf backs Liverpool for Champions League glory ahead of Tottenham Hotspur clash

Former Liverpool forward El Hadji Diouf believes his old club has the edge going into the Champions League final against Tottenham Hotspur.

The two English clubs will go head-to-head in a battle to claim Europe's elite club competition in Madrid on Saturday.

The Reds failed in their bid to lift Europe’s most prestigious club trophy last season, having stuttered to a 3-1 defeat to Real Madrid at the NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium, Kiev.

Liverpool have impressively managed to beat former champions Barcelona and Bayern Munich en route to the showpiece event, whereas Spur have made their way past the likes of Manchester City and Ajax to meet them.
