Both teams will have already spent 20 days without a competitive match when they entered the field in Madrid on 1 June.

"It's really weird, you're leaving normally and that's what Liverpool did to Marbella," said Carragher.
"Nobody has been able to tell me why the Champions League is three weeks after the campaign. It's normally two weeks, where you have the FA Cup and then the next week's Champions League.

"I think we're in a much better shape than Tottenham in 2019 and a longer break will not really help in some respects. You're worried because you're losing a bit of that rhythm that Liverpool has played like before.
"I do not think Tottenham is in good shape. I know they did it and it's amazing, what they did, I love Pochettino, but they're not in great shape, so a longer break will help them forget the bad shape and focus on this one game. "
