Real Madrid coach Zidane talks Liverpool boss Klopp - and Salah

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane says Liverpool rival Jurgen Klopp has his total respect.

Ahead of Saturday's Champions League final, Zidane admits he is an admirer of Klopp's work.

He stated: "I do not know him personally, I have not been able to talk to him but I have seen his work, he is formidable, he has already shown it not only in Dortmund, but what he is achieving in the Champions League and in the Premier is very respectful.

"These kind of coaches are experts."

Zidane was also asked if he'd swap Reds ace Mohamed Salah for Cristiano Ronaldo.

He added: "No, I have Cristiano and I talk about my players."
