Liverpool face Real Madrid in the Champions League final on Saturday. Klopp has been regularly criticised for his inability to structure a defence capable to staving off goals. And his


counterpart Zinedine Zidane has also been maligned for his apparent tactical misgivings, with Real way off the pace of La Liga champions Barcelona this term. And Klopp has hit back at the


critics, joking that two managers with no apparent tactical nous have got to the final. “If people think Zidane has no tactical knowledge - because people think the same about me - it would


be really funny if two managers in the final had no clue about tactics. What would that say about the game?” Klopp joked. “Zinedine is one of the best footballers of all-time. The same time


I’m manager of Liverpool, he can win the Champions League for a third time. I have to expect that he’s brilliant, like he was as a player. “This group of players work with him like a clock


from Switzerland. That’s how it is. “I’ve seen his team playing together a lot of times and it’s fantastic football. “It’s organised when it needs to be organised and chaos when it needs to


be chaos, but it’s football and there’s an opportunity for the other team. That’s enough for me.” The final kicks off at 7.45pm on Saturday, with Liverpool seeking to win first trophy since


their League Cup triumph in 2012.
