Liverpool wins sixth European champion after beating Hotspur

It was goalkeeping that made the difference, showing $85 million was well spent by American owner John Henry after Loris Karius was banished for making costly mistakes in last year's final.

"You have a goalkeeper who makes difficult things look easy," Klopp said. "Thank you very much."

No wonder Klopp was relieved after six losing finals, stretching back to his spell at Borussia Dortmund.

"Did you ever see a team like this? Fighting with no fuel in the tank," the German said.
