(Reuters) - Liverpool are relishing the prospect of facing Real Madrid in Saturday's Champions League final but manager Juergen Klopp is glad that his duel with counterpart Zinedine Zidane does not have to extend beyond the touchline.

Real are targeting a third successive European club title under former French international Zidane, while Klopp is looking to deliver Liverpool's sixth continental crown and first since 2005 as the teams prepare to meet in Kiev.
