'We played a good game, not a perfect game': Klopp on UCL loss

"In the dressing room, nobody feels it was a great season at the moment. We maybe need a few hours for that. It was the two decisions against us were the smallest margins possible," Jurgen Klopp has said on the Champions League final loss to Real Madrid.

"We played a good game, not a perfect game. I don't think a perfect game is possible against an opponent set up with a deep formation.

"We had a lot of shots but not the clearest. Courtois made two top saves. We conceded a goal from a throw-in. Valverde wanted to shoot, Vinicius was there and that's it.

"When the keeper is man of the match, something is wrong for the other side. Courtois made three incredible saves. I would like to have had more of this calibre. In the final third we could have made better passes and crosses.

"The boys tried everything, especially at 1-0 down then we played like we wanted to play before. We had our midfielders too deep. It's a threat they are with counterattacks. We wanted to be braver in the second half.

"That's what we said at half-time. We played around them. We should have played more in the formation than around them.

"It feels different. It's not bad to get to the final. It's a kind of success. Not the success you want to have."

Liverpool have lost the Champions League final to Real Madrid 1-0. The Reds played the better match but could not convert their chances.
