Jurgen Klopp’s men fell narrowly short in their attempt to land the Premier League

The Reds finished one point behind Manchester City in a frantic Premier League title race – despite holding a 10-point lead over Pep Guardiola’s men after 20 games.In contrast, Spurs finished fourth as their season ended without a win in their last three league games.And Ince, who spent two years at Anfield during a successful playing career, believes that intense battle could result in more silverware falling out of Liverpool’s grasp.“The Champions League final isnt a foregone conclusion, Liverpool will be knackered from trying to chase Man City,” Ince told Paddy Power.getty2

Paul Ince believes Liverpool are mentally and physically drained ahead of the Champions League final

“Liverpool have had a very hectic season. If I was [Spurs boss, Mauricio] Pochettino, Id be saying that theyve had a very, very tough season.“Theyve exhausted themselves trying to chase City and will they be feeling that during the final? It will definitely have taken its toll.“Losing out to City in the Premier League will have not only taken its toll on Liverpool physically, but mentally too.“When you finish the season like that, and have a three week wait for the final, thats draining for anyone never mind if youve just missed out on the title.”
