Jurgen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino will contest the Carabao Cup final on Sunday; two managers cut from the same cloth that were on the same curve until five years ago.

​​​​​​It is poetic that Jurgen Klopp's introductory crack at silverware in his final season at Liverpool comes against the manager he faced at the start of this era; the man who provided the initial barometer on how he wanted his team to play - and the one at whose expense he enjoyed the first crowning moment of his tenure. Mauricio Pochettino is also a football person Klopp - to pinch his own words - 'could not have more respect for'.

By contrast, 11 were still at Tottenham. That night - Liverpool adding a sixth European Cup and lifting their first trophy under Klopp at the fourth time of trying - is often seen as the springboard of one era and the full stop to Pochettino's at Tottenham. Spurs had been sleepwalking into that eventuality for years, and it was a reliance on good coaching and repeatedly defying logic that saw them get that far.
