Tonight’s match will be special, according to TV4’s sports expert Philip Minja.
– Now the final is also in Las Vegas, so the setting is extra large and there are two fantastic teams that have made it to the final. There has been a lot around the sport, but the sporting aspect has really shaped this and therefore it will be incredibly exciting to watch the match tonight, he says in Efter fem.
It is in Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas where the Kansas City Chiefs face the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl – two strong teams, according to Minja, but there are a few players to watch out for.
Star-studded teams
– In the Kansas City Chiefs, it is Patrick Mahomes who is the big star and is perhaps the league’s best player and has been for the last six years when he has played for Kansas City. he has reached the final three times and the semi-finals three times, says Minja.
– This year was perhaps the worst year the team has had and yet they make it to the final. It has some championship DNA.
The San Fransisco 49ers have star Christian McCaffrey who is important to the team both because of his strength and length and who runs away from most, according to Minja.
– He is really witty, says Minja and continues:
– We expect him to have a big game tonight and he is important to that attack.
Lots of talk about Kelce
Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce has already been talked about beforehand due to his highly publicized relationship with artist Taylor Swift. But he is above all a very skilled player and important to the team, according to the expert.
– He will be one of the best of all time at his position. That’s how good he is. He and Patrick Mahomes have this duo together and they have set new records in the playoffs for the most touchdown passes, says Philip Minja.
The relationship with Taylor Swift has nevertheless put his celebrity at its peak in the United States, according to the expert. Around the world, there has been speculation in the media whether Swift will make it to the Super Bowl to support Kelce.
– There are many who not only talk about the match itself, but also about the Swift effect and many who follow whether Taylor Swift will arrive on time or not, says Tomas Kvarnkullen, TV4’s foreign reporter who is on the ground in the USA.
