"They are a very strong team, tomorrow we will face each other in this wonderful stadium compared to what happened three and a half years ago with the public. We've earned it," Gasperini told a press conference on Wednesday. "We have three or four players left compared to the 2020 game, with them maybe there are a few more," Gasperini said."Klopp has always been exceptional in this, he has stated that he will leave but he will leave behind a renewed club for new goals."
