‘But I know it is possible. All the things we need in this game we have already done plenty of times during the Champions League campaign and now we have to do it again against a really strong team.’
Zinedine Zidane’s Real Madrid side have won three of the last four finals and head to the Ukraine looking for three titles on the bounce.
Klopp said: ‘They are more experienced and that’s a fact.
‘If there was a market for experience they should sell it. They would be even more rich than they already are.

‘It’s an advantage to be more experienced but you can level it with desire and attitude and readiness and work rate. That’s good and what I love in football.
‘We have a chance and that’s why I think: ‘Let’s give it a try’.’
Liverpool were joined in training on Monday by Emre Can. The midfielder has been injured since mid-March but will travel to Kiev with the squad.
Klopp said: ‘Ten days ago I was not thinking it was possible. The door is open and he is desperate to be part of it.
