“Overall I can say that it is difficult to argue with him about this … There is a lot of sympathy for Liverpool in this country and it is fair enough, they work hard.”

“Klopp is a master of being the underdog. He can talk to you about being the underdog against Villarreal. He can do it every time. That’s part of where the empathy comes from…

The Blues will face Liverpool starting at 6:45 pm in the FA Cup Final.
