Klopp Reveals 'Torture' Watching Back Champions League Final Against Madrid

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has said he experienced "torture" watching back his side's 2022 Champions League final with Real Madrid.

Both sides are billed to lock horns again in the Champions League last-16 round.

The Reds are without a win against the reigning champions in their last six meetings in the competition.

Two of these meetings have come in the finals of the Champions League.

The first was the 3-1 defeat in 2018 and the second was the loss in 2022 which was inflicted on Liverpool by a lone goal from Vinicius Junior at the Stade de France.

Speaking ahead of Tuesday's Champions League tie at home to Los Blancos, Klopp said: "We played the final in Paris and I watched it back this weekend.

"I realised why I hadn't before that. 

"It was torture; we played a good game, we could have won it but they scored the decisive goal. 

"You could see their experience, how little they lose confidence, they are there for their chance. 

"That is what you can learn from them."
