Klopp: “Courtois, what saves. Where is the next final? I book the hotel”

In the end, not much remains in Jurgen Klopp’s pockets. Of course, the FA Cup and the League Cup are two trophies that have tradition in England, but in short, seeing the Premier and Champions League fade away by a hair. After a season like this, it burns a lot. After having sported goodbye – as always – Ancelotti and the Real Madrid players, during the award ceremony the German coach clapped his hand to his heart, raising his arm towards the sector of the Stade de France occupied by Liverpool fans. Another Champions League final lost, like the one at the helm of Borussia Dortmund against Bayern (2013) and that of Kiev (2018, again Liverpool-Real Madrid). One, however, has it on the bulletin board: 2018-19 edition, won in the final against Tottenham. He’ll need it to console himself tonight.

The words

–

And to look ahead, without feeling sorry for yourself. He’s not the type, after all. Just listen to his words after the match: “Where is the next Champions League final? Istanbul? I already book the hotel …”. Then he returns to the game: “Courtois made some top level saves and unfortunately the referee’s decision on the goal went against us for a matter of centimeters”.
