Kylian Mbappe and Neymar in full agreement about Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp

Both Kylian Mbappe and Neymar are in full agreement that Jurgen Klopp is the real deal.

Liverpool manager Klopp guided the Reds to a very first Premier League title last season, after winning the Champions League in 2019.

Paris Saint-Germain's World Cup winner Kylian Mbappe was asked to comment on the German back in May, and heaped praise on his achievements.

His Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Neymar was recently asked a similar question, and was equally full of praise for Klopp.

Mbappe said: "This season, Liverpool have been a machine in the Premier League. They have made winning look easy but the truth is that it is never easy.

"Performances like they have been having don't just happen. To be as ruthless as they have been would come from lots of hard work in training and from having a very good manager."

Meanwhile, Neymar told the Daily Star: "Over the last two seasons Liverpool have played some of the best football in Europe.

"Last season winning the Champions League and this season winning a league was strong, because they won the Premier League so comfortably.

"Their coach has built a strong team and next season I am sure they will be very competitive again."

Both Mbappe and Neymar play in the Champions League final this weekend, as Paris Saint-Germain take on Bayern Munich in Lisbon.

Neymar added: "The [Champions League] semi-final was a very good performance - but nobody remembers who wins semi-finals.

"That is over now. Bayern are going to prove a very big test and we will be ready. They have many good players, but we are also at a high level and I feel I am playing at my best since I have arrived in Paris.

"This is where we want to be. The owners have a big project and part of that project is to be considered the best in Europe. We have never been closer than we are now - but we must stay focussed."
