The fact is, Liverpool have a huge hurdle to overcome in country rivals Tottenham as they target another memorable European honour in tonight's Champions final showdown at Madrid.
Klopp's men have been sensational this season, missing out on their first Premier League title with just a point behind champions Manchester City.
But it's quite unsure who conquers Europe tonight, that's the verdict given by former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho.
The Portuguese believe no party is favorite to win the big prize but pointed out each, a player that would make the difference in firing their respective sides to glory.
"If I had to choose one, fundamentally in this last phase of growth, it would be Van Dijk," Mourinho told Eleven Sports.
"For Tottenham, because they made the final without Harry Kane, I would say Eriksen."
On who wins the final, he added: "I always say that the team that had something extraordinary on their way to the final is the team that is a little further ahead.
"The curious thing about this final is that the two arrive in an absolutely incredible way.
"They arrive there almost like titans, completely convinced that they are going to destroy their rival. It has everything to be a final with two teams completely convinced that ‘the trophy is mine’."
