And Jurgen Klopp is no different.

After orchestrating this unforgettable victory, Liverpool's boss is now ensuring that his players absorb what they've achieved and what it means for those who hand in their hard earned winnings to see them perform across the continent.

"It's not that I have a group (WhatsApp) and that I press a button and that I send it to everyone!" Rit Klopp. "But yes, I sent the videos.

"When you see something really nice and really funny, really touching or emotional, I want to share it with the boys. Why not?

"Most of the time, I think they've already seen it because I'm not on social media, that's why I need my source – I get the most of these videos from someone else!

"I have looked as much as possible to increase my storage capacity. I think I have seen almost everything. I have different views on the game, the goals, what was happening outside the stadium, the parade.

"It's here (points his head). I have it. It's saved. I only do it when I need it and for the moment I do not do it because we are here to prepare the new season.

"But I watch a lot of YouTube, to be honest, I find a lot of different videos and stories, LFC TV told the story of a father and son going to a final and a I watched it, it helps you understand what it means for other people.

"I know what it means to me and I can get an idea of ​​what it means to others. But knowing for sure is cooler. "

Klopp is relaxed and fit since he speaks exclusively with ECHO, located on the 12th floor of the Four Seasons Hotel, during the Liverpool tour of the United States, in Boston.

With nearly eight weeks since the Champions League was lifted – and the first ever trophy won as the Reds boss – there has been time for reflection.

Speaking to the media inside Wanda Metropolitano shortly after the match, Klopp said the overwhelming feeling was relief.

But has this changed now?

"It's very different!" He laughed. "I no longer feel relief, it's gone.

"I've had all different positive emotions, and it's clear that I'm so happy above all else and that I'm proud to be proud of boys most of the time.

"It's so amazing what they did two years in a row by going to the finals and doing what they did at European level.

"Coming from where we come from, arriving at three European finals in four years from the base of our starting base is incredible, especially to finally win it.

"I felt all the emotions. But doing it again, in any way, is the target. "

Klopp, however, does not see how his team's performance should be recorded in the annals of history.

"It's the truth, and I do not want to know more about it, but it was one of the biggest games of all time," said the Reds boss, opening big arms to emphasize the point.

"It's like that, we do not have to talk about it all the time, but that's the case.

"Look at the circumstances. It had already happened the year before in Barcelona against the Roma and that was the reason why it was absolutely impossible, in fact.

"There was hope, and we thought we could win thanks to our performance in the first game. It was clear. Difficult, but clear. But winning as we did, playing as we did, winning 4-0, et cetera, it should actually be impossible.

"But the boys did it. And that's what makes him so special: with Bobby, Mo, Naby, who was fit, with Robbo, at half-time, Hendo, a knee hit, all that.

"There were only CFL warriors in the night. We put them under pressure, we go, we go, we hunt them everywhere on the ground and we score. It was an exceptional football. I liked it. "

Winning the European Cup allowed Klopp to bear a heavy personal burden, with the German having already lost six finals in a row while in Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool.
