Klopp hails the positive impact of the Women's Euros on the sport

Jurgen Klopp says that the Lionesses are a slight favorite to beat Germany because they are in good shape and will be cheered on by their home fans.

Jurgen Klopp

thinks that his home country of

Germany

will lose to the hosts of Euro 2022,

England

, in the final, but that women's football will be the winner no matter what.

After losing in the semi-finals of three major tournaments over the past ten years, the Lionesses will play in their first major tournament final since 2009. They will face the most successful team in the history of the competition.

But Sarina Wiegman's team is likely to have better odds in Sunday's final at

Wembley Stadium

. This is because they are playing at home and have had a string of amazing wins, including a 4-0 win over the top-ranked Sweden team in the semifinals.

Liverpool manager Klopp will have his team play Manchester City in the FA Community Shield on Saturday at Leicester's King Power Stadium. This is so that the big match on Sunday can be played in north London. The German feels both his adopted home and his birth nation would be worthy winners, but that it is likely England who just shade the pair, while adding the tournament's success is great for the women's game.

"I have to say I love women's football," Klopp stated. "It's outstanding. The quality of the tournament is insane. England are doing exceptionally well, and Germany, they've [done] well [too]. I think it's a really good final, [with] two intense teams facing each other. You can imagine that as much I love England, in this specific case, my heart is on the German side."

"[A] sold-out at Wembley with the English crowd, it'll be a massive challenge for Germany. But I think the most important thing is that women's football has shown it's a fantastic game. We all knew that before. Women's football over the last few years [has] exploded. It's tactically [and] technically at an incredibly high level. The intensity of the game - I love watching it. I love watching it I think England are a slight favorite because of playing at home, but Germany has a chance as well, and that's enough."
