Champions League: Jurgen Klopp has masterminded Liverpool evolution since 2018 Real Madrid defeat

Four years on from their crushing failure in Kyiv, Jurgen Klopp will lead Liverpool into another Champions League final against Real Madrid on Saturday. But he will do so with far greater resources at his disposal.

Klopp's men have come a long way since that sorry night in May 2018, when a couple of disastrous blunders from goalkeeper Loris Karius resulted in a 3-1 defeat on European football's grandest stage.

Though while Karius' gaffes ultimately proved decisive, the Reds were an incomplete, greenhorn side with little experience on the top stage back then.
