Former Bayern Munich captain Lothar Matthaus has praised Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp for his market work.

Matthaus rates Liverpool as favourites for tonight's Champions League cash.

He told The Sun: "Liverpool are a good pressing team. A German, Jurgen Klopp, pressing machine.

"It's terrible to play against a team when they come at you so strong, with and without the ball, so Bayern know they must find a way to cope with that.

"With Liverpool it's not just the front three but the midfield and full-backs who join and play the passes and put in the crosses.

"Jurgen has changed the team a lot in the past two and a half years. He invested a lot of money, yes, but he invested that money in high quality.

"That is the difference between what Klopp did and the money Jose Mourinho spent.

"If you want players of the highest quality, you do have to spend £60m-£70m.

"But the results come back from the right investment and now Liverpool have a chance to win the Champions League and the Premier League, after so many years."
