Alexander-Arnold: We learned a lot from Real Madrid defeat

Trent Alexander-Arnold will start his second consecutive Champions League final tonight just a bit over making his debut two years ago. Oh, and he' not even 21 yet.

He believes last year's defeat against Real Madrid in the final means that they are in a good position to beat Tottenham tonight.

“Last season, the experience has helped us,” he said on Friday. “This season, I think we learned a lot from the game. It’d be daft to forget what happened last season and start afresh. 

“We've used things throughout the season that we learned against Real Madrid in Kiev, the way they won the game and the way they went about things, how they beat us.

“We've matured as a team, we've shown how we can win games, how we can hold onto 1-0 leads, we keep clean sheets better."

Alexander-Arnold, writes Simon Hughes, is much more than a footballer for Liverpool, the club and the city. Seeing the boy born just a couple of miles away from Anfield holding the Champions League aloft would be everything.

Pochettino makes Spurs players face their fears ahead of facing Liverpool

Jack Pitt-Brooke has the inside story on Tottenham's team-building exercises that have brought the group together ahead of tonight's final.

"There was an activity when the players were handed a long thin arrow with a sharp point. They had to put the point up against their throat and walk into a wall. Trusting that their neck would be strong enough to snap arrow, and that they would not suffer a dangerous injury instead."

Alderweireld: We're training like animals

Toby Alderweireld says that Tottenham are training "like animals", not that he is specifying which animal he thinks they are. 

“It would be a new creature, I think,” he says eventually, which if anything is an even more alarming prospect. “It’s a metaphor,” he adds. “The hunger is there.”

Hoddle: Kane will be on the bench

Former Tottenham player and manager Glenn Hoddle met Harry Kane earlier in the week and believes he will start on the bench.

"He was very relaxed. For me I think he will be on the bench," Hoddle said on BT Sport. "I have that gut feeling and he's happy to be involved because three week ago he's thinking 'we're out'".

"It is their (Spurs) first final they have to be nice and calm, calmer than I am, you have to be here for a reason.

"We thought both of these team were out. And there were two footballing miracles. There's not been a cl like it for so many years. It shows the grit and the determination of the English teams."
