Liverpool midfielder Wijnaldum: Real Madrid have good players, so do we!

Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum says facing Real Madrid in the Champions League final holds no fears.

Wijnaldum scored in last night's clash at Roma as they reached the final 7-6 on aggregate.

He told BT Sport: "It will be a nice game [against Real Madrid]. If you want to win the Champions League you have to beat any team.

"They have lots of good players but so do we. So it will be a good match!"

Having scored his first away goal for Jurgen Klopp's side at a crucial time, the Dutchman delighted in his contribution against Roma.

"It was perfect timing! It was a really important moment when I scored. I was lucky the ball came to me."
