Jurgen Klopp's Champions League final comments come back to haunt him after Real Madrid thrashing LFC
Wilfried Zaha could become Ronaldo's new teammate as Palace star targeted for Saudi moveLiverpool fans applaud Madrid duo as history made in stunning Champions League thrashing'I'm a proper footballer' - Alisha Lehmann sets the record straight about her prioritiesLiverpool 2-5 Real Madrid LIVE REACTION: Visitors slam home FIVE goals at AnfieldOops. It was more a manager attempting to rally his players and fans from the low of losing a major final.
In 2005, in Istanbul, Liverpool overturned a three-goal deficit in seven minutes in the final against AC Milan.Barcelona famously took a 3-0 lead to Anfield in 2019, only to get thumped 4-0 in the second leg.There is undeniably something about Liverpool and trailing by three goals in Europe but Klopp admits avoiding defeat in this last-16 tie requires a different scale of miracle ahead of next month’s trip to the Bernabeu.
And even the never-say-die German lacks hope his team will honour that hotel booking in three months’ time.“I think Carlo [Ancelotti] thinks the tie is over and I think it as well at the moment,” Klopp said after the game.“But in three weeks… that’s how it is in these moments, the closer you get to the game, the bigger our chances become and the less likely it is that the tie is over.
“Tonight when you see the game they are pretty good at counter-attacking and we have to score three goals. So to take some risk that could be tricky.“But it’s really not in my mind… we will try to win the game. If that’s possible or not I don’t know now but that’s what we’ll try and from there we will see.”
