Klopp: This is what interests me in the Real Madrid match

At the beginning of his speech during a press conference at the Stade de France, Klopp gave happy news to the Liverpool fans, saying that the midfield duo Thiago Alcantara and Fabinho are in good physical condition and are ready to participate in the Champions League final.

Tiago was replaced due to a muscle problem in the first half of the last Premier League game, on Sunday, against Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Fabinho has not played since he suffered a hamstring injury during the 2-1 win over Aston Villa on May 10.

Klopp told reporters: “It looks good for both Thiago and Fabinho. Fabinho trained normally. Thiago trained with the team yesterday and he will train today and then we’ll go from there. The mood is very good, I’m very excited to be here. He started feeling the place and the pitch.” .

A new lawn was laid at the Stade de France earlier this week and Klopp had some concerns.

The stadium was hastily prepared for the final match after Saint Petersburg was stripped of the right to host the match following the Russian military operation in Ukraine.

“Usually when the pitch looks new, that’s good news / but not in this case because the grass has only been new since yesterday,” Klopp said. .

“Someone thought it would be a good idea to introduce new ground the day before the match, but the two teams will play under the same conditions,” he added.

Klopp believes that Real Madrid will have a slight advantage due to his great experience, having reached the Champions League final for the fifth time in nine seasons.

He stated, “If you look at the way Real Madrid returned in the results of the last matches, I will say that they are candidates,” referring to Real Madrid’s confrontations against Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Manchester City in the previous rounds.

He continued, “I want us to be on the same level in this kind of thing. I hope we play our character and our way in the final – if we are at the top of our level it will be difficult to defeat us. My main concern is to play our way and believe in ourselves.”
