Another Champions League final defeat against Real Madrid with the performance of a goalkeeper integral to the outcome. Four years may have separated the two reverses, but for Liverpool there was a certain sense of deja vu after their attempt to claim a seventh European Cup ended in familiar heartbreak.
Jurgen Klopp, though, knows matters aren’t quite the same.
“The difference between 2018 and now is that I see us coming again,” he said shortly after his team’s 1-0 reverse in Paris on Saturday night. “In 2018 I wished it but I couldn’t know. But these boys are really competitive, they have an incredible attitude, it’s a fantastic group and we will go again definitely.”
