Jurgen Klopp Becomes Real Madrid's 'Number One Priority' Following Champions League Humiliation

Real Madrid have reportedly made Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp their top managerial target for the end of the season, as they seek to recover from their shock elimination from the Champions League on Tuesday.

Despite winning the first leg, Real slumped to a 4-1 defeat against Ajax at the Santiago Bernabeu and found themselves eliminated from the competition, adding insult to injury in what has been an incredibly disappointing season for Los Blancos.

News of Real's interest in Klopp comes from The Independent, who claim that the Liverpool boss has moved to the top of their shortlist as they prepare for next season.
