Before their Premier League meeting on Sunday, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp and Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino were asked to reflect on June’s Champions League final, which was the last time the teams met.
“It was tough – it was all or nothing, and it was nothing. We felt empty,” Pochettino said of the 2-0 reverse in Madrid that clinched Liverpool’s sixth European Cup.
“We won the Champions League final, we know that…that’s additional motivation [for Spurs] to put things right,” said Klopp, looking ahead to Sunday’s tie.
Ahead of the weekend’s matches Liverpool are six points clear at the top of the Premier League, with Spurs in seventh place, 13 points behind.
