Liverpool Feeling ‘Pure Excitement’ Ahead of Champions League final — Klopp

By Daily Sports on May 29, 2019

Jurgen Klopp said Liverpool were feeling “pure excitement” ahead of the Champions League final against Tottenham but confirmed on Tuesday that Naby Keita will definitely miss out.

The German manager, who guided the Reds to last year's final, which they lost to Real Madrid, saw his side narrowly lose out to Manchester City in the race for the Premier League title.

But Liverpool can ease the pain of last year’s defeat to Real and finish the season on a high by being crowned European champions for a sixth time in Madrid on Saturday.

“We are all very excited about having the chance again,” Klopp told reporters at Liverpool’s training centre.

“It’s about dealing with the situation and so far we have controlled our emotions,” added the Anfield boss, who also tasted defeat with Borussia Dortmund in the 2013 Champions League final, when his side lost to Bayern Munich in an all-German clash.

“It’s pure excitement and we are looking forward to it.”

Guinean midfielder Keita will not feature in the match as he recovers from a groin injury but there was better news for Brazilian forward Roberto Firmino, who is also grappling with a groin issue.

“There’s no chance for Naby, but he’s progressing well. Bobby was part of training last week and will be a part again tomorrow and he’s looking good so he will be part of the final, I’m sure.” (SuperSport)
