Klopp: The Christian football manager who says there's more to life than winning trophies
It seems Jurgen Klopp's prayers have been answered after Liverpool reached the Champion's League final last night. John Evelyn takes a closer look at the manager's faith
Liverpool FC, one of the biggest football clubs in the world has reached the Champion's League final after playing (in the words of their own manager) "crazy" football.
The Reds claimed a thrilling 7-6 aggregate victory over Roma last night and will now face Real Madrid in the final later this month.
Manager Jurgen Klopp has long been a popular figure in his native Germany because of his outspoken nature and the success he brought to former club Borussia Dortmund, where he won two league titles and got to the final of the European Champions League.
