Klopp: Reaching final won't have influence on this season's CL run

Liverpool begin their Champions League campaign against Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield tonight with Jürgen Klopp explaining why reaching last season’s final will have no influence on how his side fare this time around.

The Reds surged to the Kiev showpiece as they swept FC Porto, Manchester City and AS Roma aside in the tournament knockout stages, but suffered heartbreak in the final against Real Madrid.

And while Klopp believes the experiences the team picked up en route to Ukraine can be useful, he’s stressed why being finalists last term won’t aid their cause as they aim to mount another tilt at the trophy.
