Liverpool boss Klopp admits Marcelo could be Real Madrid weak point

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits Marcelo could be weak point for Real Madrid in Saturday's Champions League final.

Klopp was asked by Robbie Fowler about the Brazilian.

He told the Mirror: "You saw it, everybody saw it, seems obvious: 'Marcelo, what an offensive player, but... he can't defend'. They won the Champions League twice, they are again in the final! Bayern Munich thought they were the better team in the two games, but what is better at the end?

"Real need four chances to score twice. Bayern needed eight to score one. They are experienced from head to toe. There is no weakness. ­Football is not so easy that you can say, 'If Marcelo (right) makes that run, and we leave Mo Salah there in that space, Salah gets in against Ramos'."

Klopp added: "Each team in the world has a weakness. We played against Barcelona at Wembley and we were on fire, we beat them so well. There are opportunities for us, we know that – and they know it as well."
