The Reds manager used his unique piece of clothing to lighten the mood ahead of the Champions League final

Jurgen Klopp has opened up on how he came to be wearing a pair of Cristiano Ronaldo underpants ahead of the Champions League final in May.

Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum recently revealed the Reds manager presented a meeting prior to the match in Ronaldo-branded underwear which helped ease tensions.

"That's true...some years ago when I was buying underpants, I simply grabbed the Ronaldo shelf," Klopp said.

"I still have them, but I have not worn them since the finals.

"During the final I deliberately wore it and during the session deliberately pulled them very far up to under the nipples. That was funny, looked funny."

After seeing his former club Dortmund fall short in the Bundesliga title race last season, the 52-year-old is hoping Dortmund can go one better in this campaign.

"I hope BVB! [It] would be stinking boring otherwise," Klopp said.

"I think that the BVB [are] sensationally good, [and have] a very great team. It will not be easy for Bayern.

"But in the end Bayern have always shown that they can fight back."
