Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp Confirms He Did UCL Talk in Cristiano Ronaldo Underwear

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed he conducted his team talk ahead of the 2018 UEFA Champions League final in Cristiano Ronaldo-branded underwear.

Klopp spoke at the Bild awards (h/t Goal's Josh Thomas) after being named Coach of the Year and said he did so after buying the pants by accident:

"That's true...some years ago when I was buying underpants, I simply grabbed the Ronaldo shelf.

"I still have them, but I have not worn them since the finals.

"During the final I deliberately wore it and during the session deliberately pulled them very far up to under the nipples.
