European Cup winner David Fairclough wants Liverpool to show better game management in Saturday’s showpiece with Real Madrid.

Fairclough lifted the trophy with the Reds in 1977 and 1978 and thinks if his old side are to get anything out of the Champions League holders in Kiev, they will need to be smarter.

They weathered comebacks from Manchester City and Roma in the two previous rounds, but Fairclough hopes they can handle such events better come kick-off on Saturday.

“When they’ve been in situations where Liverpool teams of the past would have pulled down the gates, the situations against Manchester City and Roma… players from past teams would have handled it better and that’s where I have a little bit of worry,” he said.
