Jürgen Klopp and his Liverpool will meet Real Madrid again in the second round of the 2022-23 Champions League, after starting the last final, with a white victory, and the ‘reds’ coach said on Monday, after the draw, that “it’s a tie to be happy about”. He added: “We have Anfield and everyone knows what that means.”
Klopp was emphatic when discussing the pairing with Real Madrid in Liverpool’s media statements: “The first thing I must say is that this is the Champions League. Something that speaks for itself and for which we have to be happy. And Real Madrid’s record in this tournament is the best “. Klopp has faced the Whites ten times throughout his career, with three wins, two draws and five losses.
The Liverpool manager also said: “I know we played against Real Madrid in some finals (the ones in 2017-18 and 2021-22), but we’ve never crossed paths that many times in a back-and-forth tie, so we should be excited about it. Real Madrid has the best record. We know, but we also know that we are not bad. Also, we have Anfield and everyone knows what that means.”
For Klopp, it is “a good crossover, very exciting, there are still a few months left, but it doesn’t take much imagination to know what the atmosphere will be on the round trip”. And he insisted that “there is still a lot to play for, but this draw has given us something special to be excited about.”
