"If the goalkeeper is the best in the game, I want to say that the other team has done something wrong," says Jürgen Klopp
Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp acknowledged that Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois made "three amazing saves" that were critical in his team's defeat in the Champions League final this Saturday, and that despite playing "a good game," the defeat shows that "it was not enough."
"I'm not sure if it's unbelievable because it's a typical football result." Possession has been at 50%, and while we've had a lot more shots on goal, the most important thing is Real Madrid's statistics, for which I've congratulated them. They've scored and we haven't; it's the simplest explanation in football. "It's challenging for us," Klopp said at a press conference.
"This Champions League has been the most difficult I've won," Ancelotti says.
"If the goalkeeper is the best in the game," the German believes, "the other team has done something wrong." "Courtois has made three incredible saves, but we need a little more quality in the last third; what we did at the end of the match didn't make much sense," he said.
"Our best phase was after his goal and also in the first half, with Mané making his central defenders work hard." The issue is that when they play deep, they are very dangerous. I've seen a lot of good things, but it's not enough."
Klopp admitted that playing their 64th game of the season had not "helped," but that it was not "the reason" for the defeat, especially because "the occasions" that they squandered had nothing to do with "physical level." "I believe Real Madrid took a shot and scored." We played well, but when they lost 1-0, it wasn't enough. I told the players that I was already proud of them because they had such an outstanding season. "And the two competitions that we did not win (Premier and Champions) were due to very minor details," he explained.
"Mbappé has already been forgotten," says Florentino Pérez. Madrid has had a perfect season”
"Real Madrid has done everything they needed to do, and now they need a final." They have a lot of experience and the most successful coach in European football, but when you lose a close game, we think you could have done better. We gave everything we had, but we didn't get anything in return, that's football," the'red' coach emphasized.
Finally, Klopp mentioned the game being delayed due to issues outside with the entry of some fans. "I am aware that many families have had difficulty entering the stadium. "There will be an investigation; I've heard not very good things, and it's been difficult, but I don't know more," He said.
