That is according to Bournemouth goalkeeper Asmir Begovic.
Liverpool take on back-to-back winners Real Madrid in the final in Kiev on May 26.
Real are favourites heading into the clash having now reached this stage of the competition in four out of the last five seasons.
Despite being a former Chelsea player, Begovic hopes Liverpool will come out on top.
That’s been their only care really so I’m sure they’ll be firing on all cylinders when the final comes around
But he has warned them they will face a Real side who have put all their attention on this competition after their failures in La Liga, where they are set to finish third.
“It’s a heck of a Champions League final,” Begovic told talkSPORT.
“I mean you couldn’t wish for much more with two huge clubs going at it.
“Real Madrid are absolutely fantastic when they turn it on and they’ve been playing for the Champions League for the last few months now.
