Jose Mourinho can see Liverpool returning to the Champions League final next season.

The Reds won the Champions League for a sixth time in their history with a 2-0 victory over Tottenham at the Wanda Metropolitano on Saturday night.

Mourinho, who has won the competition with Porto and Inter Milan, said on beIN Sports: "With Real Madrid it's three in a row. Why can't Liverpool do three finals in a row?

"Why Liverpool, with this good team, with this good spirit, with this good empathy. The club, the manager, the players, the fans. Why not a third?"

Mourinho did caveat the claim by revealing the seven other sides who are strong candidates to reach the finale in Turkey next spring.

"I was writing here the teams that want to win the Champions League. Juventus, Bayern, PSG, Manchester City , Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid," Mourinho added. "You have seven or eight teams.

"Lots of teams want to do it, but only one can do it."
