MADRID (Reuters) - Liverpool's Juergen Klopp era delivered its first trophy with his side's 2-0 Champions League final victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday but it is unlikely to be the last night of celebration the German coach provides.

Klopp's team's triumph at the Wanda Metrpolitano was by no means one of their best performances of the season -- indeed it lacked so much of the verve and quality that has thrilled their supporters during the campaign.
