This season, coach Klopp has taken Liverpool to new heights. With 97 points in the Premier League, Liverpool can win all remaining seasons except for the last 2 seasons of Man City. Liverpool now not only attack strongly but also have a very solid defense.
Entering the second consecutive Champion League final this year. The port city fans are looking forward to winning a silver cup after last year's defeat to Real Madrid. Confidence is high when this year's final opponent is only Tottenham, but when knowing Coach Klopp's "dark" past in the finals, fans cannot help but worry.
Specifically, in his coaching career, the German strategist has lost 6 out of 7 of his finals. Klopp's only win was in the German Cup in 2012, Dortmund beat Bayern 5-2. Since then, he has known only failure.
In 2013, Klopp's Dortmund really made a splash after eliminating Real in the Champions League semi-finals, enthusiastically heading into the final against Bayern Munich. As a result, the Ruhr team lost 1-2 with a memorable goal by Robben in the final minutes.
Along with Dortmund, Jurgen Klopp has 2 other sad finals, the National Cup in 2014 (losing 0-2 to Bayern) and the National Cup in 2015 (losing 1-3 to Wolfsburg).
When he moved to Liverpool, the "black luck" did not let him go. In 2016, Klopp and his students also lost their last two consecutive matches, the League Cup ( losing 1-3 to Man City after a 1-1 draw) and the Europa League lost 1-3 to Sevilla. It was in the final last year that Liverpool was taught a life-long lesson by the "King of Champion League" - Real Madrid.
After the defeat to Sevilla in the 2016 Europa League final, Klopp said: "The first thing to do is to look at yourself. We need more finals. There will definitely be changes." It is unknown how many more finals Klopp will need this year to overcome his bad luck.
Liverpool suffered a painful defeat in the Premier League against Man City, the Champion League trophy is probably the title they deserved this season if they knew how to overcome "Klopp's curse".
The match takes place at 2:00 a.m. on February 2 at Atletico Madrid's Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.
