Jurgen Klopp insists Liverpool are NOT gunning for revenge against Real Madrid after their infamous 2018 Champions League final loss... in a clash which is memorable for Sergio Ramos injuring Mohammed Salah as the Reds fell short in Kiev

Jurgen Klopp insists Liverpool are not gunning for revenge as they face Real Madrid for the first time since the infamous 2018 Champions League final.

Liverpool were beaten 3-1 in Kiev after they lost Mohamed Salah to a damaged shoulder following a collision with Sergio Ramos, while goalkeeper Loris Karius was left concussed after the Real's captain elbowed him in the head; Klopp was furious with Ramos's actions.

Ramos will not be fit for the either leg of this quarter-final but, regardless, Klopp has made it clear past meetings will not figure in his team talk and he has challenged his players to take their improving form up another gear.
