Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp feels "blessed" after guiding his team to the Champions League final.
A third Champions League Final beckons for Klopp – after Liverpool's fairytale comeback from 3-0 down in the semifinal first-leg at Barcelona to win 4-0 at Anfield.
He told DW: "I'm really blessed to be where I am.
“Most of my colleagues have to work their whole life and don't get to Champions League Finals. They're fantastic coaches, but maybe just haven't had the teams I've had and so they haven't had the experience of facing Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in a Champions League Final.
“Otherwise, I think about myself as a completely normal person. OK, I know a little bit more about football than some other people, that's true. But that doesn't make me a special person. It is only luck, because 500 years ago that knowledge wouldn't have helped me.
“I could have been a jester dancing in front of the king — but I would have slept in the street.
“So I'm really very fortunate that my best skill is somehow needed out there. And I appreciate that every single day, because I know field hockey coaches who work five times harder and earn four per cent of what I earn.
"I'm smart enough not to overestimate that."
