Georginio Wijnaldum says Liverpool have added motivation in the Champions League final. (AFP photo)LONDON: Fuelled by the pain of their failed Premier League title bid, Liverpool's stars admit they are desperate to win the club's sixth European Cup when they face Tottenham in Saturday's Champions League final. A win against Tottenham in Madrid would give Liverpool their first Champions League crown since Rafael Benitez's underdogs stunned AC Milan in 2005 with one of the all-time great comebacks. And, as if they need any more motivation, Liverpool have the added incentive of avenging last season's 3-1 Champions League final defeat against Real Madrid. Liverpool beat Tottenham 2-1 in the team's two Premier League meetings this term and finished 26 points above them.
