The Stade de France will host, on Saturday, the Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid. The 2018 final, which featured the same poster, remains a bad memory for the Reds, despite Jurgen Klopp’s efforts to lighten the atmosphere in the dressing room.
“Original. Active. Fun.” Here are the three words that fit Jurgen Klopp best for James Milner. This Saturday, Liverpool and Real Madrid meet for the third time in their history in the Champions League final after 1981 – in Parc des Princes – and 2018. During this last final lost by the Reds (3-1), Jürgen Klopp was already on the bench at Liverpool James Milner was also part of the German forces. to me daily MailThe midfielder looks at the final before which Klopp did everything to calm the atmosphere.
Because to justify the fun side of his coach, James Milner returned to the 2018 Champions League final against Real Madrid by Cristiano Ronaldo and his wife: “When he talks to his team, this is not a joke after a joke, but he will always try to please the players. Like in the Champions League final 2018. He was having his usual pre-match meeting – talking about the game, the tactics, what we were going to do, what they were going to do. But he knew there were going to be tensions.”
Then the 36-year-old veteran revealed that Klopp…was “wearing his boxer Ronaldo”. “That was his way of trying to relax the boys,” he said. “He’s good at nipping such things in the bud.”
In 2013, Cristiano Ronaldo launched his menswear brand called “CR7”. The Portuguese appeared with boxers of his own brand during matches or during advertising campaigns that the Portuguese suppose. With Ronaldo no longer a member of the White House, Klopp will have to double his creativity if he is to lighten the mood ahead of the Champions League final.
