Klopp acknowledges that when Guardiola retires, he will not be sad to see him go.
"I'm not going to miss it," he stated.
"Everything I say about the city is true. No doubt, Pep Guardiola is the finest coach in the world, but I've always aspired to be the coach of a squad capable of defeating the best team in the world.
"Actually, I managed to accomplish that as well, and now we just have to make sure Sunday is the day."
