Vinicius Jr. send a request to Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, forward with the Champions League final
Liverpool and Real Madrid will meet in the Champions League final this Saturday in Paris, and Jurgen Klopp is eager to reclaim the trophy.
Vinicius Jr has told Jurgen Klopp that he must field his best team against Real Madrid this Saturday.
The Reds have the opportunity to exact revenge on the Spanish giants in Paris after losing to them in the 2018 Champions League final. Liverpool has since won the trophy, while Real Madrid has remained in the wilderness.
Los Blancos, however, have roared back into the fold under Carlo Ancelotti after knocking out holders Along the way, he met Chelsea and Manchester City. To win the title, they must defeat the Premier League's other top-three team, while the Reds may be missing some key players.

Thiago Alcantara is in serious doubt after being substituted at halftime against Wolves on the final day of the Premier League season. Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Fabinho have all recently suffered from injuries.
Without all four, Liverpool would be significantly weakened, giving Real Madrid a significant advantage. That would give those at the Bernabeu hope, but not Vinicius Jr, who would prefer to face a full-strength opponent rather than a diminished one.
When asked about Liverpool's injury problems, the Brazilian replied: "They should have fun with all of them. We want an exciting match between two teams that includes all of their players. With complete concentration. And both are vying for the most important prize of all: the Champions League.
This weekend, Real Madrid will face Liverpool.
"We watch a lot of Liverpool football. They are a fantastic team with a lot of strength and intensity. We will win if we match that against them.... we will win for sure."
With their 6-5 semi-final victory over City, Real Madrid may have produced one of the most iconic performances in recent memory. Rodrygo came off the bench to score twice in injury time to force extra time.
Karim Benzema scored a penalty five minutes into the extra 30 minutes to send Pep Guardiola's men home, and Vinicius Jr has expressed his desire for another spectacle. When asked what he wanted, he replied, "A great game like all the games in the Champions League knockout stages." They were thrilling for us, but they were also lovely games. We now have the match that every player wants to play. We have the advantage of almost all of the players here having played in many finals and that’s reassuring for us. Hopefully it will be a great game."
