Paradox: UCL could be first trophy for both Pochettino and Klopp at Spurs and Liverpool
However, there is one paradox about this season's final. Both coaches of the finalists, Jurgen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino, have yet to win a trophy for their respective clubs during their relatively long tenures.
Moreover, for the former Espanyol and Southampton coach, it would be his first managerial honour ever, with a runner-up medal in the Football League Cup in 2014/15 being the biggest achievement of his career so far.
Meanwhile, Klopp has won several trophies at Borussia Dortmund. In particular, the Bundesliga twice, the German Cup once and the Supercup twice. He has reached three European finals previously, finishing as runner-up in all of them and will look to secure his first trophy for Liverpool since arriving in 2015, without forgetting that there is still a slight chance of him winning the Premier League against all odds.
