Jamie Carragher has certainly made his bed when it comes to the Champions League final having previously written off Real Madrid after their victory against PSG back in March.
The LaLiga champions have performed comebacks against PSG, Chelsea and now Manchester City in the knockout-stages, securing an unlikely place in the final on May 28 against Liverpool in Paris.
Their latest miraculous comeback saw them score twice in a minute to save themselves against City before progressing, and Carragher in the CBS Studio was reminded of his bold statement a few months earlier.
The Reds legend said: 'This Real Madrid team will not win the Champions League. Absolutely no chance of winning the Champions League.'
With fellow pundits Thierry Henry and Micah Richards giggling in the studio, ex-City defender and Sportsmail columnist Richards said to Carragher: 'You're going to be nervous at the final!'
Yet Carragher replied immediately and remains confident that Madrid won't win the competition, saying; 'I'd be a lot more nervous if it was Man City.
'Listen, I'm very confident that Liverpool will win.'
Riyad Mahrez's goal with 17 minutes to go look to have sealed City's progress to another all-English final, but Rodrygo scored twice in second-half stoppage-time to send the contest into extra-time.
And Karim Benzema scored once again from the penalty spot in the 95th minute to seal a memorable triumph at the Bernabeu.
Madrid will have all their sights set on claiming a 14th European Cup in the French capital, while Liverpool are still looking to clinch the Premier League and FA Cup before the showpiece at the Stade de France.

This pundit sometimes talk out their emotions rather than the right thing. E We all know it's a 50-50 chance so why do you think Real Madrid will never win it?

Madrid was the underdog against PSG, Chelsea and man City but yet they destroyed the overreacted man City, destroyed all stars PSG, scattered world champion Chelsea. We love to be called the underdog.. Liverpool can't be in finals if they have played just one team out of PSG, Chelsea and man City... i have Already bought my jersey for the champions league celebration..

In fact the comeback of yesterday has already sent some shivers down the spine of Liverpool who are busy chasing three trophies when RM are only chasing one. All these hypes about Liverpool are mind games. Liverpool are not better than PSG, Chelsea or Man City. All of them have been conquered by RM in one campaign. No team has been tested this much in this competition. Beating top class teams in succession is enough preparation to lift the trophy
