Jose Mourinho makes stunning Liverpool prediction after Champions League success

Liverpool won the Champions League for a sixth time after beating Tottenham 2-0 at the Wanda Metropolitano

Jose Mourinho reckons Liverpool can reach the Champions League final again 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.

Mo Salah handed them an early lead from the penalty spot before substitute Divock Origi added a late clincher.

The victory partly made up for Jurgen Klopp's side's heartbreaking defeat to Real Madrid in last year's final - when Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale blew them away in Kiev.

But after watching Real hand over their crown after three successive titles, former Manchester United boss Mourinho has predicted a third final in a row for the Merseyside outfit.

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 united , 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."
