Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp's finals misery

Jurgen Klopp's record of getting teams to finals is excellent - but his success rate in them is less impressive.

The Liverpool boss goes into Saturday's Champions League showpiece with Tottenham seeking to end a six-match losing run in finals.

Two of those disappointments have been in the Champions League - so this weekend the German is trying to avoid an unwanted hat-trick.

This is the 51-year-old's eighth major final as a manager and the fourth in his third full season in charge at Liverpool.

'It's the most incredible thing that's happened to me'

12 May 2012: German Cup final - Borussia Dortmund 5-2 Bayern Munich, Olympic Stadium, Berlin

It started so well for Klopp.

Having already delivered back-to-back Bundesliga titles for Borussia Dortmund, he secured the club a third German Cup after demolishing Jupp Heynckes' Bayern Munich in Berlin.

Robert Lewandowski, who would later move to Bayern, scored a hat-trickand Dortmund's other goals came from Shinji Kagawa, who later moved to Manchester United, and Mats Hummels, who would also move back to the Munich giants.

"That was a cup final that no-one from Dortmund could have better imagined," an ecstatic Klopp said after the game. "It's hard to put into words what has happened to us."

It was Dortmund's first German Cup triumph for 23 years and came shortly after they were crowned league champions after finishing eight points ahead of Bayern.

"The double, it's the most incredible thing that's ever happened to me," added Klopp.
