'They Will Lose A Final Someday': Klopp Rubbish Madrid's Finals Mystique
Real Madrid have not lost a single Champions League final in their history, winning 14 titles. It has prompted some to believe in a kind of Madrid black magic in the competition's finals.
Thibaut Courtois said before the game that Madrid 'don't play finals, they win them' but Jurgen Klopp does not believe in such supernatural forces.
"This team of Real Madrid is incredibly experienced, they have the most experienced manager in European football, now the most successful as well," the Liverpool manager said, referring to Ancelotti winning his fourth Champions League title.
"In a football game, in a close football game and even when we had a lot more shots than Madrid, it is about scoring, easy.
"Then the other problem is, with 24 shots how you say, I remember three situations where Thibaut Courtois made a proper save, a world-class save, and with our quality we can cause them more problems.
"Madrid deserve the Champions League trophy, that’s how it is, when if you lose you have to think you could have done better. That’s normal. We think we could have done better.
"Is it possible at game number 63 to play your absolute best football? I don’t know, but I saw a lot of good things. My team was full of desire, full of passion, we tried really hard and you don’t get the reward. That’s part of the game, it will never change.
"What’s the reason for that? I don’t believe these kind of things that Madrid is unbeatable in finals, they will lose a final someday but it didn’t happen tonight so I think Real Madrid could not care less when that will happen and for us it’s not too interesting as well."
