Manager Juergen Klopp has
urged his players to seize an opportunity to become part of Liverpool
folklore when they face back-to-back champions Sevilla in the Europa
League final in Basel today.
Liverpool beat Premier League rivals Manchester United, German side
Borussia Dortmund and Spanish club Villarreal on their way to the final
and will be hoping to build on that run to end an 11-year wait for
continental success at St Jakob-Park.
“It is a wonderful story to tell your grandchildren when you are old
about being a Liverpool legend. How it feels to be a Liverpool legend I
have no idea — but it is one of the best things you can feel in
football,” Klopp told British media.
“You win it, you get the trophy, you are then a European champion and
you have to work with it. You have to use the confidence in the right
way. We are far away from the end of a development, this team is still
developing.”
Liverpool finished eighth in the Premier League after Sunday’s 1-1
draw at West Bromwich Albion but will qualify for next season’s
Champions League if they overcome Unai Emery’s men in Switzerland.
