The news of Jürgen Klopp's departure from Liverpool has not only carried weight in England, as Klopp is an excellent human being and this has earned him the respect of fans of other teams as well as rival coaches and players. One of Klopp's biggest rivalries at the helm of Liverpool is undoubtedly the one against Real Madrid.

This rivalry has not only been with Liverpool, as Klopp has faced Real Madrid in a total of 12 matches, but his record is not so good, with only 3 wins. Despite this, Real Madrid fans undoubtedly have great respect and admiration for the German tactician. Last year, Klopp was a great defender of Real Madrid's Brazilian star Vinicius Jr.

When Klopp was asked after facing Real Madrid about the recent racist attacks on Vinicius Jr, he was asked about the recent racist attacks on Vinicius Jr. To which Klopp gave an incredible response, as he defended the player, as the German was asked about some inappropriate behaviour by the Brazilian, who used to provoke the opposition, triggering racist insults on Vinicius. Klopp defended the player as such acts can have no excuse to take place, stating: "There is nothing in the world that can justify that".

Klopp has a Reds record that Real Madrid envy

In recent years under Jürgen Klopp the Reds have played some great games and one of them was a great elimination over Barcelona, which is undoubtedly one of the worst in the Spanish side's history. The Reds eliminated Barcelona in an unforgettable comeback in the Champions League semi-final in 2019, when in the first leg Barca won 3-0 and thought they had qualified for the final, but in the second leg at Anfield the Reds turned it around 4-0, eliminating Barcelona in an unforgettable comeback.
