Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, has challenged his players to stop Real Madrid lifting a third consecutive Champions League trophy on Saturday and show fans that winning “big things” is still in the club’s DNA. But when the whistle blows, Klopp believes the spirit shown by his players on their “exceptional” run to the final could be enough to show Real that experience is not everything. “You analyse Real Madrid playing in other games against other teams and you think ‘wow, they are really strong’, but they never played us. The games we had in the Champions League, it was the most exceptional run to a final, with the most goals. Liverpool have scored a record 46 goals in all in this season’s Champions League, with Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah netting 11 of those.
