Thomas Tuchel and Jurgen Klopp have been compared with each other for the majority of their managerial careers. Both managers had taken similar paths in managing Bundesliga clubs, Mainz then Borussia Dortmund, one after the other. Now the pair face each other head-to-head at least twice a season in England.
Chelsea and Liverpool will in fact do so for the fourth time this season in the FA Cup final on Saturday. The Blues still have a top-four spot to secure in the Premier League, while Liverpool have a title challenge and Champions League final to focus on, so you can expect an absolutely cracking match at Wembley.
Both managers share the utmost respect for one another. As Chelsea fans, we give Thomas Tuchel the respect he deserves by default, so it's always nice to hear what a rival like Jurgen Klopp himself has to say. In sharing his thoughts about the FA Cup final, Jurgen Klopp highlights just how much he respects Chelsea as a team and the man that they have in charge.
