LIVERPOOL, England: Liverpool would not want to believe that they "deserve" the title of the Champions League after a tremendous national campaign that has finally failed, according to defenseman Andy Robertson.

The left-back played a key role in the bid for the title in Liverpool, who finished in second place despite a single loss and 97 points, while Manchester City beat them one-up. point.

The Scottish international said the idea of ​​deserving a trophy was wrong and that any success against Tottenham Hotspur should be won in 90 minutes in Madrid on Saturday.

"I've heard a few people say that, but for me, we deserve nothing yet," he said. "The Premier League proves it: many people would say that 97 points deserve the Premier League, but that's not the case because Manchester City got 98."

"They were a little better than us at the end, we deserve nothing, just what we put in the game and what we come out of.

"If we have 100% effort and if we have a good game and we play at our best level, we will deserve it, but we do not go into the game thinking we deserve it because we had a good game. season and got 97 points – never, that would be stupid of us. "

Robertson, who will play a key role against a Spurs team that sometimes likes to overburden the right flank, said the approach was to be perfect against Mauricio Pochettino's team.

"We have been ruthless this season and we must be ruthless again," he added.

"But I've watched Tottenham over the last three or four years under Pochettino and it's also a ruthless team.

"The way they proceed and the way they win games sometimes destroy teams.

"They beat us last season and if they succeed, we'll have a great match against a fantastic team with fantastic players.

"At the top of the Premier League, you have to be ruthless, it's hard to be in the top four."

"If we can integrate that into our game, I think we have enough to win it, but we have to prove it.

"We have to show the team who played the last 10 months of the season."
