The Wanda Metropolitano will host the Champions League final between Tottenham and Liverpool
Jurgen Klopp’s side have had a phenomenal season in the Premier League – picking up 97 points – but still missed out on the title to Manchester City.
They head into the Madrid showpiece against Spurs as favourites after their stunning comeback win over Barcelona in the semi-finals, and Shearer has warned they cannot afford to be beaten.
Klopp has lost all three finals he has reached as Liverpool manager – the Carabao Cup and Europa League in 2016, plus last year’s UCL final.
Shearer told The Sun: “If they still end this campaign without any silverware, you have to fear what it will do to their confidence and mentality.

Jurgen Klopp has lost his last six finals
“It would be a long, hard summer for Liverpool.
“However, boss Jurgen Klopp would probably try and dress it up.
“Because it is difficult to know how they can actually play any better.
“And it is not as if City are going away.
“Klopp needs a trophy to show for all the brilliant work he has done at Anfield.

“But he has lost his last six finals — three with Liverpool and three with Borussia Dortmund.
“If it was just one or two, then it would not make a difference.
“But six… Klopp will be thinking about that on his way to Madrid.”
