3 reasons why Liverpool will humble Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League final

#2 Jurgen Klopp's superior tactics

Liverpool Training Session and Press Conference — The German mastermind

If anyone is to be held accountable for Liverpool's unanticipated success in European football, it has to be the German mastermind, Jurgen Klopp, who would come to the fore.

Klopp's tactics have been enormously undervalued this season due to Pep Guardiola taking the stage with his record-breaking Manchester team. However, the German manager's "Gegenpressing" and counter-attacking system saw even Guardiola's seemingly unassailable side being shellacked in the Champions league semi-final as well as the Premier League.

If Klopp gets his tactics right, his ferocious attacking unit comprising the likes of Salah, Mane and Firminho could easily breach Real Madrid's defence, which has already been exposed by La Liga minnows over the course of this season.
