Klopp praises Liverpool's 'crazy ride' to UCL final

"In our case, we've played in the Champions League without pressure most of the time," said the German. 

"We entered the competition for the first time in a while and we quickly realised that we had a good chance.

"We aren't anyone else. We are Liverpool, on the way to becoming a really good team, and performing at such a high level is very cool.

"To summarise, it's been a crazy ride. But, after all, we've earned our place here."

Klopp's fearsome attacking trident of Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino will go up against the twelve-time champions of Europe on 26 May. The Liverpool boss will be hoping this chapter of his career has a happy ending.
