Arsenal defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos is backing his former manager Jurgen Klopp to bring Champions League glory to Liverpool next week.
Sokratis was signed by Klopp at Borussia Dortmund and worked under him for two years before the German departed in the summer of 2015.
The Greek international gained a fearsome reputation with Klopp once stating: "You’re never quite sure if he’s about to kill you.”
And now Sokratis has addressed those comments while expressing his backing for his ex-boss when Liverpool take on Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League final in Madrid next Saturday.
"I took what Jurgen said as a compliment, of course," he said to the Mirror.
"I had a good relationship with him, having played for him at Dortmund.
“He was very good with me. I hope he wins the Champions League final.
Sokartis is part of the Arsenal squad that arrived in Baku over the weekend ahead of their Europa League final against Chelsea in the Azerbaijani capital on Wednesday.
