This year’s Champions League final match will be played on Saturday June 01, 2019, at Athletico de Madrid’s Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid, with English sides Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur facing off for the title.
Football supporters in Kenya are eagerly waiting for the final match, owing to the fact that two Kenyans in the making of Harambee Stars Captain Victor Wanyama, and Divock Okoth Origi, will be in action for Spurs and Liverpool respectively.
Origi, son to former Harambee Stars striker Mike Okoth Origi says that he expects a tough match against Wanyama and his team on Saturday.
“They have a super team. We played against them a couple of times and we know they have danger from all angles, which makes the game so beautiful. It’s going to be a special game for us,” Origi told Liverpool’s official website, liverpoolfc.com.
“We have a lot of respect for them but we also know we have a very good team. We have big qualities and, above everything, we’ll play with a big heart. It will be a mountain to climb for us – but a good mountain. With preparation and training, we’ll feel confident for the game,” said the Striker who was born in Belgium.
Origi scored two goals as Liverpool, against all odds beat previous favorites Barcelona 4-0 on May 07 to advance to the final, while Wanyama was part of the Spurs team that booked a final spot at the expense of Dutch side Ajax Amsterdam a day later.
