Liverpool fans, cancel your hotel bookings and blame Jurgen Klopp.
After agonisingly losing the Champions League final to Real Madrid last May, the Reds boss targeted a repeat of his 2019 success when Liverpool avenged another final loss the year prior. "Where's the final next year? Istanbul?" Klopp asked during his post-match interview with BT Sport before turning to the camera. "Book the hotel."
Unfortunately for the Liverpool manager, he's been left red-faced 10 months later, as Real Madrid came back to haunt them once more in this season's round of 16. Having collapsed at Anfield in the first leg three weeks ago, Los Blancos ran out 1-0 winners in the second leg on Wednesday, securing a 6-2 aggregate victory to dump the Reds out.
