Liverpool ace Sadio Mane insists manager Jurgen Klopp is no "choker".

Pressure is building on Klopp to win his first piece of silverware at Anfield, following last season's Champions League final loss to Real Madrid.

Despite winning successive Bundesliga titles with Borussia Dortmund in 2011 and 2012, the German, 51, has been on the receiving end of rival fans' taunts and accused of being a serial choker after losing his last SIX major finals.

He was in charge of Liverpool's 3-1 Europa League final defeat to Sevilla three years ago — and the League Cup penalty shootout loss to Manchester City in the same season.

But Mane hit back: “He is a great coach, not a choker.

“He has won titles before and he has lost titles. That is life. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose."
