Jurgen Klopp is the "perfect match" for Liverpool as the club target their sixth European Cup/Champions League title, says Reds owner John W Henry.

Liverpool will face Tottenham in an all-English Champions League final - the Reds' second successive appearance in the European showpiece - in Madrid on Saturday.

Henry, whose Fenway Sports Group took charge of Liverpool in 2010, brought in Klopp as manager in October 2015 and the German has been instrumental in the club's re-emergence as one of the world's biggest forces.

Klopp will aim to win his first title in charge of Liverpool against Spurs at the Metropolitano, after leading the club to second place in the Premier League - the highest ever points tally for a runner-up in any of Europe's top five leagues.

Asked how pleased he was in the club's decision to appoint Klopp, Henry exclusively told Sky Sports News: "He made the right choice as well!

"It was a perfect match for his personality, his persona and the kind of football he wants to play.

"The players that we have acquired over the last couple of years have also been a perfect match."
