Kylian Mbappe heaped praise on Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool for their astonishing campaign in the Premier League this season. The French World Cup winner claimed that Liverpool's astounding performances this season were machine-like, as the Reds made winning look easy, though it's not. He described the defending European champions as a ruthless team, claiming that their ruthlessness on the field was due to the extreme efforts put in during training sessions. He attributed a major share of the Reds' success to the efforts of manager Jurgen Klopp. 

It was recently reported that Jurgen Klopp attempted to bring Mbappe to Liverpool when the striker was still plying his trade at Monaco. The German tactician spoke to the forward's representatives as well as his father to persuade him to join Liverpool. However, he went on to join PSG to play alongside Neymar. Despite the transfer, Klopp reportedly remains a huge admirer of the 2018 World Cup winner.
