Jurgen Klopp has explained what he said to UEFA's president in a recent conversation the pair had. Speaking in his pre-match press conference, as cited by  Twitter account, Klopp responded to Aleksander Ceferin's comments about tickets for the UEFA Champions league final.

"I spoke to him. He texted me. I asked why we didn't have more tickets for our people? I have an opinion. I didn't know enough about it," said Klopp.

"It's fine. I said that the reason I am not in a great mood with UEFA is the Nations League. One of the most ridiculous ideas I ever heard.

"I would prefer UEFA took more money from the Champions League final and kick out the Nations League. That` s my personal opinion."

This discussion that is getting a lot more publicity than it deserves all started after Klopp questioned UEFA's decision to only give 40 thousand of the available 80 thousand tickets to Real Madrid and Liverpool fans.

Ceferin

UEFA's president, Aleksandr Ceferin then responded by saying; "I explained it to him (Klopp) a bit more and took much more time because I went through every single number. From the revenues from the finals, UEFA gets 6.5 per cent and 93.5 per cent goes to the clubs. From the other matches 100 per cent of the revenues goes to the clubs."

He then finished by saying that UEFA aren't giving the other 40 thousand tickets to their friends and families, most of those tickets go to the sponsors who pay the clubs.

It's very easy to see where both sides are coming from. Klopp isn't involved with the in and outs of the finances that UEFA give to Liverpool.

He's just a normal guy who sees each club getting 25% of the tickets for a final that his club is playing in.

This isn't an issue that just UEFA needs to deal with, the club's owners, including FSG, all need to sit down with the footballing authorities and put fans first, especially in the biggest game of the season.

Will that happen? Probably not. Money always comes first to these billionaires.

FA Cup

Meanhile speaking ahead of Saturday' s FA Cup final against Chelsea, as cited by Twitter account, Klopp said that it is going to be extremely difficult to play against 'cup specialists'.

"They are cup specialists," said Klopp "They won it often but we want to give it a proper try. That is the plan. We are really desperate to win it but we know our opponent does as well.

"Chelsea is a really really well-coached team. They play a similar system to other teams but they are on another level. Organised defensively - offensively talented, different options. Werner, Havertz, Lukaku, Pulisic.

"We have no idea how they will line up. It is very interesting to prepare for. It is a final. It would be really surprising if we were to meet a weak team. We want the full prize."
