"I have a lot of confidence in the team and maybe Milan are favourites they think they will win, but we have confidence," said the Liverpool boss.

"I think in a game like a final it is difficult to see an open game, but I can see it being a top game and we will try to play well.

"We will try to play good football and if possible to score an early goal. It would be good for us, for sure, and for sure I would prefer to score one more than them in the end.

"Each team is different. We have a different team and maybe we cannot do the same things as PSV.

"We will try to do the things that are good for us and bad for Milan. We will try to see the weak points of Milan and try to beat them.

"We know how important the game will be for us and for the club but we don't have any anxiety, we have confidence. We have nothing to lose and a lot of things to win, so we will try to do our best.

"We know we have the best supporters, maybe in the world, and we want to see them tomorrow because they have been supporting us all season. We want to play a good game for them."
