Klopp is preparing Liverpool for the Champions League final on Saturday against Real Madrid in Kiev (7.45pm UK time).
The Reds are aiming to win the competition for the sixth time in their history, while Real are targeting a third European Cup in a row.
Los Blancos are likely to present a big threat, especially with Cristiano Ronaldo, who has 15 goals to his name in Europe this season.
Although Zinedine Zidane’s men had an unforgettable La Liga campaign, they have a chance to create more history.

It’s a big team and a big challenge for both
Liverpool's biggest test came in the semi-finals against Manchester City, but they reached the last four after two impressive displays.
And Klopp is fully aware of the challenge facing both sides and insists the magnitude of the occasion will play a big part on the night.
“The only message is it’s football and we have a chance and that’s really enough for me,” Klopp told Radio 5 Live when asked about whether his side can come out on top.
“We played Man City and did we have a chance this year - no.
“But we had it and used it and that’s exactly how it was.
“I really think it’s a big job to do, but it’s a Champions League final and if it was easy for one team, then that would be completely wrong.
“It’s a big team and a big challenge for both!”
Liverpool are taking part in their first Champions League final since 2007 when they lost against AC Milan.
