Jurgen Klopp put his Liverpool players through their paces for a final time before they bid to win the Uefa Champions League on Saturday.

The Merseyside club trained at the Wanda Metroplitano Stadium, where they will face Tottenham Hotspur in Saturday's final, which begins at 11pm UAE time.

The squad appeared in a relaxed mood, with Klopp, Mohamed Salah and Dejan Lovren all smiling and laughing at times during the session.

Both teams were due to train on the pitch, with Tottenham having access after Liverpool.

Klopp had earlier told reporters at a news conference that he did not believe his side were favourites, despite having won both Premier League games against Spurs.

"I know people say we are the favourites because we had more points in the league, but if you saw the games this season both were really good so there is no advantage before the game," said the German.
