After the Champions League finals and the appointment of Real Madrid by beating Liverpool 1-0, the manager of the English team, Jürgen Klopp, indicated that he was not happy with the Merengue game in Paris by summarizing that he is kicked once on goal and it is a goal.
“Madrid is incredible. Possession was 50 percent but we have more shots, more shots on goal, but they had the most definitive. They scored and we did not, it’s the easiest explanation in football. It was a result very difficult to accept, “Klopp explained at a press conference.
In addition to praising the work of Thibaut Courtois, Klopp acknowledged the lack of skill of his strikers in the final meters. “Their goalkeeper has been the man of the match, that implies that something has gone wrong for us. Courtois has made three incredible saves. We could have better decisions in the last three quarters of the field,” he lamented.

“I think Madrid shot once and scored, right? Listen, I totally respect Real Madrid. Whatever you do, as long as it’s in the rules, it’s okay, we also have to defend ourselves many times. Madrid could have played better, but they didn’t need it and they won, “the German added.
Klopp and the access incidents
Regarding problems outside the stadium, Klopp announced that his family had problems entering the field and there will be investigations into what happened. “It’s very hard there, but I don’t know yet,” the German said.
The coach was also asked if Liverpool’s fatigue was the key to losing in the final.
“It didn’t help, no, but it’s not the reason. Whether the ball goes in or not, depends on the centimeter, not on anything. We had opportunities in heads-up play, Courtois saved them”.
