Klopp admitted disappointment in the dressing room after losing the LM final. When the player of the match is the goalkeeper, something is wrong. We will be back next year, he added

Huge game and shooting advantage were not enough. Once again, Liverpool failed to challenge Real Madrid in the Champions League final. The Spanish champion had only one shot on target, but that was enough to win the game. A great performance by goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. What did Jürgen Klopp say at the press conference?

After four years, Liverpool and Real Madrid are back together in the Champions League final. The Reds were hoping to return the defeat from that duel to the Spanish champion, only it didn’t happen.

But not because Real Madrid put in a partesque performance and Liverpool played poorly. Carlo Ancelotti’s charges once again presented a minimalist, but effective game, as they did throughout the knockout stages of the competition.

In this way they managed to successively eliminate PSG, Chelsea, Manchester City and beat Liverpool 1:0 in the final. One shot between the three posts was enough to win the match. However, it could have been different if Thibaut Courtois had not stood between the three bars of Real Madrid’s goal.

Courtois was named the man of the match, which the losers’ coach Jürgen Klopp took a dig at in his press conference. We had about three really big chances where Courtois made great saves.”

So it’s another bitter pill for Liverpool. For a few days ago, its players had to watch rival Manchester City rejoice in the trophy for the English champions.

For a long time it seemed that Klopp’s charges were going to have a very successful season. They won the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup. And they could have won two more trophies. But they fell short. And that’s why there’s so much disappointment in the team.

“Nobody in the dressing room now feels we’ve had a great season. Maybe we need a few hours to absorb it. We played a good game, but not a perfect game. Theplayers gave everything,” Klopp expressed.

The German coach eventually stated that Liverpool will be back next year and advised fans to book their hotels for next year.
