A victory on Saturday would feel sweeter than 2019 because it’s against Real Madrid: Jurgen Klopp

by Kolkata Today

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool will face Real Madrid in Paris’ Stade de France on Saturday evening in their third appearance in Champions League final.

The sides meet at Stade de France in a rematch of the 2018 showpiece, with Klopp’s Liverpool seeking a third trophy of the season and the club’s seventh European Cup triumph.

After the squad touched down in Paris , Jurgen Klopp previewed the game,he said ,“On whether a victory on Saturday would feel sweeter than 2019 because it’s against Real Madrid.

I have no idea how it will feel if we win it, to be honest.You have to ask me that question after the game. In the moment, we are more in the mood to prepare that we can give them a real game, a proper fight. Yes, you are right, it’s the most decorated club. It’s a team where some players can win it a fifth time, it’s a team where the manager can win it a fourth time. That all says a lot obviously. We cannot buy this experience now or get it overnight. We feel, if not the same experience, but we are experienced meanwhile as well – we are here the third time in five years, that’s special as well. No, the only thing we are thinking about is how to prepare the game, how to play the game. I didn’t think for a second how it would feel if, because I’m patient enough to wait for that moment and tell you then.

On intensity of Mohamed Salah’s desire,he said
“Nobody has to worry about Mo and that he takes it too much. It’s completely normal. For him it was a very special situation [in 2018]. We all lost that day but he got injured early in the game; he is now in a very good shape, he was then in a very good shape so it feels for him different. You ask him, that’s a normal feeling. We all get motivated by different things. I have here 26, 27 players and they all get motivated by different things. That’s completely fine and I have no problem with that. The only thing is if that’s the only motivation, but that’s not the case in Mo’s case that it’s the only motivation he has. But it’s normal that he wants to put things right. We want to put things right. We didn’t forget what happened that time, it’s just a while ago and we cannot come here and tomorrow I show the movie of that game and it’s enough motivation for the game, that makes no sense. We have so many reasons that we give our absolute everything Saturday night and this might be one reason but not the reason.”
