​Liverpool boss Klopp: Nobodoy should forget how hard we fought to get here | OneFootball

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is so proud of how hard his team have worked in recent years.

The Reds are set to play in their third Champions League final since Klopp's arrival as manager.

They lost the last time they came up against Real Madrid in the showpiece event, and will want to exact revenge.

"Hopefully nobody forgot how hard we fought to get here," Klopp told Sky Sports.

"We felt it mentally. The public wasn't shy of telling us that we underperformed and all these kind of things. You try to understand, you think 'wait a minute, we're facing teams in the strongest league in the world having played for the majority of the time without our full defence.

"We had no centre-halves, had to play midfielders in the last line, then had to use other players in midfield and nothing worked really.

"In the end, we played with two incredible players - Rhys and Nat - but we couldn't use them earlier because they needed time to adapt. So, yes there was a bit of a point to prove and I'm really happy that the boys did that.

"Now we should really squeeze everything out of these competitions, which so far we are."
