Facing Real Madrid In The Champions League Final, Jurgen Klopp Doesn't Want Liverpool To Drift Away In An Atmosphere Of Revenge

JAKARTA - Liverpool and Real Madrid will face off in the 2021/2022 Champions League final on Sunday, May 29 at 02.00 WIB. The match, which will take place at the Stade de France, is wrapped in a very thick atmosphere of revenge.

Liverpool are believed to want to avenge their failure in 2018/2019 ago. At that time they lost to Real Madrid in the final with a score of 1-3.

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, did not want his team to drift away in that atmosphere. He does not believe in the concept of revenge in the world of football.

"I understand the concept exists. I just don't think revenge is a fantastic idea," Klopp was quoted as saying by Marca.

The heat of revenge ahead of this duel was inflamed by Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian player wants to seek revenge because his team's heartache failed during the final which took place in Kiev, Ukraine, May 26, 2018.

At that time, Salah only played about 30 minutes after the injury due to a hard foul by Sergio Ramos.

"I understand if Salah says he wants to finish this. I also want to finish this game, but everything is fine between me, us and Real Madrid," said Klopp.

"If we win, it's not because of what happened in 2018," continued the Liverpool manager.
