Jurgen Klopp was joyous in his celebrations after collecting the Champions League final but there was one phone call he probably might not have expected right after.
The Liverpool boss revealed that he was rung up by his rival, Pep Guardiola himself, congratulating him on his success.
“A second ago I spoke to Pep Guardiola on the phone. Our head physio [Lee Nobes] worked for Manchester City at the start of the year but he wanted to win the Champions League… no, it’s a joke,” Klopp told reporters.
“We promised each other that we will kick each other’s butts again next season. We will go for everything and see what we get.
“Getting 97 points in the Premier League and winning the Champions League is an unbelievable long way to go and we did it. That’s incredible. Now we’ve won something, we will carry on. We will win things. That is big. I am really happy.”
This truly is a rendition of one of the greatest managerial rivalries in the Premier League. Both teams are now regarded as the very best in Europe.
Klopp and Guardiola share an immense amount of respect for each other and has pledged to go head to head again next season.
