Newcastle United manager Rafa Benitez was quick to congratulate Jurgen Klopp after he led Liverpool to their Champions League triumph last night.

Liverpool defeated fellow Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 at the Estadio Metropolitano in Madrid on Saturday evening in an all-English Champions League final.

Before Klopp, Benitez was the most recent Liverpool manager to lift the famous trophy in 2005.

And, once the match concluded, Benitez tweeted: "Congratulations to @LFC and all the fans. Welcome to the club Jurgen. #UCLfinal #Liverpool #YNWA #Sixtimes."
