'We are full of desire'

The Liverpool manager is laughing and joking and appears totally relaxed ahead of the Champions League final. Here's some more of what he had to say about his team's chances of success against Real Madrid.

"We are a really good football team and we are full of desire. We really work for our dreams. We hope that we can show that," he says.

"Let's got there and try to perform on a level that people would maybe say is not possible for us. But it is possible."

'This game I really want to play'

The Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp talks about handling the game "as an opportunity" and played down any talk of pressure on his players to perform against Real Madrid.

"This game I really want to play, it will be exciting" he says.

"We will try in a very positive way, to show the boys why it makes so much sense to be really brave. It was not easy to be brave against Man City, it was not easy to be brave against Roma. In both games here and there the boys did it."

'It's really big'

Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp ends an upbeat press conference on an extremely positive note.

"If we were not in a strong place psychologically, then we would not be here. We are strong. We faced so many difficult situations, we went through. We are as a group long together. I am really happy with the place we are in.

"We don't have to make it too big, but it's really big.

"It's still something you can enjoy. We will try and we know what it would mean for all the people in Liverpool and all the people around the world if we could do that."

I wasn't nervous until i started reading the presser stuff. Feel sick now

Damn, I can't imagine the drills and routines being played out on the training ground this week.

Ronaldo isn't as mobile as he used to be, still highly effective in the pen area and deadly on crosses too.

Need to keep him on the edge of the penalty area.

More of this please Real Madrid, print it out and put all over the dressing rooms. Their arrogance leading to complacency is a big hope for me - if we are at it they’ll have played nothing like us in years.
