Among the five major leagues, there are real Madrid, Liverpool, Frankfurt, Roma, in addition to Ligue 1, just four major leagues have a single team. It also shows the competitiveness of their respective leagues: Premier League La Liga in the Champions League, Bundesliga in europa League, Serie A in the UEFA Cup.
Can we predict what the final of these three cups will look like? Let's start with the Champions League: Real Madrid vs Liverpool, on May 29. Being able to eliminate Manchester City, Real Madrid showed the essence of the king of Europe. However, one thing that needs to be made clear is that Klopp is not Guardiola, and he will not faint in the key battle. Combined with the current strength of the two teams, Liverpool has a better chance of winning.
Let's talk about the Europa League final: Frankfurt vs Rangers, on May 19. After Frankfurt reached the knockout rounds: Real Betis 3-2 in the round of 16, Barca 4-3 in the quarter-finals, and West Ham United 3-1 in the round of 4. It can be seen that Frankfurt has a greater winning percentage.
Finally, there is the UEFA Cup final: Roma vs Feyenoord on 26 May. Roma finished fifth in Serie A and Feyenoord in The Dutch Serie A third. Rome is worth 360 million euros, and Feyenoord is worth 130 million euros. In terms of strength, Rome was superior. More importantly, Mourinho's winning percentage in the European finals is 100%. Remember the last Time in the Europa League final, Mourinho led Manchester United to hang Ajax. Therefore, Rome's winning percentage is even greater.
As a result, the champions of the three major cups will be: Liverpool in the Champions League, Frankfurt in the Europa League, and Roma in the European Union Cup. If the outcome is so, Mourinho will also become the first manager in history to combine the champions of the Champions League, the Europa League and the European League Cup.
