Liverpool are approaching the Saturday evening Champions League final against holders Real Madrid in Kiev fully aware that they need to work hard to get a win but they believe they can “go for the big things” which they say are in their DNA, says manager Jurgen Klopp.
The Reds are chasing after sixth, European championship title while their opponents are looking to lift the trophy for a third successive season.
“Nobody expected us to be here, but we are because we are Liverpool. This club has it in its DNA that it can really go for the big things,” Klopp told BBC Sports.
“I am pretty sure, in the second before the game, Real Madrid will be more confident than we are but the game doesn’t end in that second, it only starts. I am really happy to be here with this group of players. They fought unbelievably hard to be here. They deserve it. I’m really proud.”
