One day to go until the big one, the Champions League final between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur at the Wanda Metropolitano, and the ECHO’s reporting team of James Pearce, Ian Doyle and Connor Dunn have arrived in Madrid. Connor actually got there before James and Ian and, in this, your first Blood Red podcast from what could be a momentous and historic weekend in the Spanish capital, he describes the mood in the city and how it has been taken over by thousands and thousands of travelling Koppites. The players will not arrive until later today (Friday), which is different from last year’s final in Kiev, and James explains why, as well as giving an insight into his exclusive interviews with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Reds chairman Tom Werner. Ian and James flew into Madrid from Dublin, where we staged a Blood Red Live event, and they re-visit two key questions from the night regarding Klopp and a certain Philippe Coutinho. Penny for the Brazilian's thoughts now? Also on the agenda is new contracts for a trio of players, expectations among Liverpool supporters compared to 12 months ago, the fitness of Roberto Firmino, and the very difficult midfield decision facing Klopp. Oh, and San Miguel and Sangria, too.

The Blood Red podcast took over Dublin on Wednesday night with hundreds of Irish Reds packed into the Dtwo bar for an exclusive live event in association with Carlsberg. It was a superb evening of Liverpool FC chat and the perfect warm-up to Saturday’s huge Champions League final with Tottenham Hotspur. But don’t worry if you weren’t able to get a ticket or you would have loved to have been there, because you can now listen to the Q&A section of the evening in full here on the Blood Red channel. It’s features our Liverpool FC correspondent James Pearce and reporter Ian Doyle, Steven Daly from the LFC Daytrippers Podcast, and is hosted by Off The Ball’s Philip Egan, a life-long Red. James and Ian give insight into the futures of Jurgen Klopp and James Milner, plans for the expansion of the Anfield Road stand, the influence of Pep Lijnders and departure of Zeljko Buvac, and the chances of bringing Philippe Coutinho back, which evokes very different reactions. The panel are also asked who’s the best, Messi, Ronaldo or Origi, name the players, apart from Steven Gerrard, from the 2005 Champions League-winning side who would get into Klopp’s current team, and discuss whether Istanbul or Barcelona at Anfield was better. Oh, and Ian also reveals the time James strangled him in the Anfield pressbox. Enjoy. And if you’d like to attend our next Blood Red Live event, which takes place at the Baltic Market in Liverpool on Wednesday, June 5 click HERE to buy tickets.

The Champions League final in Madrid is upon us as Liverpool aim to become six-time champions of Europe against Tottenham Hotspur. Kristian Walsh and Josh Williams offer all the tactical and statistical analysis you need on this special episode, with the duo looking back at the previous two meetings between the two teams this season in an effort to find out just what could happen in the Spanish capital. The question of whether this will play more like a Premier League or Champions League game - and who that benefits - is discussed, as is the biggest weak link in Mauricio Pochettino's side. The importance of Roberto Firmino and Harry Kane is also revealed, while there is a run-down of just why the Reds shouldn't fear Spurs... and why there is a fair bit for the North London team to fear about Jurgen Klopp's mentality monsters. But beware of overconfidence - Tottenham are tougher than most think and there is evidence to prove it. Come on Liverpool! For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
