The manager's message"It is a while ago we fell in love with each other and that's now how it is. We've worked together for a while and we will work together for a couple more years and everything is fine," said Klopp of his relationship with the club.
"We sit here before a Champions League final and that's - as I understand it - the biggest game in world football for clubs, so I think it's normal that I am in a good shape and a good mood.
"Even when I was unlucky, I am maybe silly enough to try it again and again and again and I don't waste time before a game being in a bad mood. As I've learned, I have enough time for that after a game! We will be there and we will try to play a very positive game."Line-up:
