Vinicius Junior’s goal just before the hour mark settled the showpiece at the Stade de France, with Real securing the coveted title for a record-extending 14th time, much indebted to Thibaut Courtois’s decisive goalkeeping performance.
Courtois made several brilliant saves, one of which saw him tip off a Sadio Mane drive inside the post in the first half.
“After the game when I looked at the statistics, it was a 50-50 possession. We had too many shots, too many shots on target, but the most decisive position is absolutely in Madrid’s favor,” Klopp told LiverpoolFC.com Told.
The defeat in Paris meant that the English club ended their season, winning the FA Cup and Carabao Cup and finishing runners-up in the Premier League (Manchester City won the title), and the Champions League.
“Just to make sure no one thinks I won’t congratulate Real Madrid, I just do that. They scored a goal, we didn’t, that’s the easiest explanation in the world of football to get it anyway Tough, tough, (but we) respect that. When the goalkeeper (Thibaut Courtois) is man of the match, something is going wrong for the other team, so I think we really have three big chances Were where Courtois made incredible savings. I would have loved to have had something else of this caliber,” Klopp said.
“In the last third we could have done better, a pass here, a cross, especially towards the end of the game, didn’t make much sense towards Courtois. We probably had the best round when they scored 1-0, then we played exactly where we were supposed to play. The problem is, when you play against Real Madrid and they defend that deep, the counter-attack is huge for them. You can’t ignore it,” said Klopp, analyzing the game.
Asked whether Liverpool’s 63rd match of the season affected his performance, the German categorically stated that it was not the reason.
“Let me say, it doesn’t help, but I don’t think it was the cause. We all know we’ve had chances, when the player shoots the ball, whether the ball is going in or not, really only one inches, that’s all. It has nothing to do with whether or not you are at the peak of material things. I think Madrid had a shot at the target, is that right? And that was a goal,” Klopp he said.
