A friend of mine in the office wants Ajax to win because it's been 30 years since they were a true European power, and it would great from a storyline perspective.  He also said he didn't want Spurs to beat Ajax because he didn't want the Champions League Final to be just like it was another Premier League game.

I sort of see his point, but I certainly wouldn't be upset with an All- England Final.  Spurs with Harry in the Final would be a good reward for their past few years of "trophy-less excellence", but if that were the case, I would hope that Mo Salah and Bobby Firmino would also be back, so we got to see the best of both sides.

Personally, although my club is Chelsea, I have always enjoyed the attacking verve of Liverpool, going back to Brendan Rogers and that terrific team he had with Sturridge, Suarez and Sterling.  That was a crazy attacking team.  If they could have played any defense (and but for "The Slip"), that team should have broken Liverpool's drought of Premier League titles.

I love Klopp.  To me, he gives young players a chance to develop and coaches them well, like Pochettino, but he has such a bright, engaging personality.  He's so funny, he's so humble, and he really seems to love his players.  I wish that Mourinho had been more like Klopp when he came back to Chelsea a few seasons ago.

I like Mourinho for all that he has accomplished.  Watching his reaction to the Liverpool comeback last night on Be In Sports showed a man who is mellowing, and who maybe has finally learned that you have to build up these young players today, and give them a hug once in awhile, not just the stick.
