Klopp backing Chelsea defeat as Eintracht Frankfurt boss Hutter reveals call

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is backing Eintracht Frankfurt to beat Chelsea in tonight's Europa League semifinal second-leg.

The Germans are in London with the aggregate score locked at 1-1.

After Liverpool's Champions League heroics, Klopp still had time to show his support for the club from his home country, in a conversation with Frankfurt boss Adi Hutter.

Hutter said: "He wished everything well for Eintracht. I did congratulate him for getting to the [Champions League] final."

He added: "I watched the game and I was enamoured with the match. He showed that if you believe something then you can put that across to his team."
