The sky is the limit for Liverpool following their success over Tottenham in Madrid, according to club great Robbie Fowler.
Robbie Fowler believes Liverpool's Champions League victory will lead to more silverware under manager Jurgen Klopp.
Liverpool claimed their sixth European Cup/Champions League title by defeating Premier League rivals Tottenham 2-0 at Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid on Saturday.
Mohamed Salah and substitute Divock Origi were on target as Liverpool – who finished a point adrift of Manchester City in the league – won their maiden trophy under Klopp and first since 2011-12.
Reds great Fowler – winner of the UEFA Cup, Super Cup, FA Cup and EFL Cup during his time on Merseyside – backed Klopp's men to enjoy further success.
"Liverpool have a side that is already at the top, and will only get better," Fowler continued. "The prospect is slightly frightening. They've finished second with 97 points, swept the likes of Bayern Munich and Barcelona aside to get back into the final and are still nowhere near the height of their potential. Winning a trophy unlocks that potential."
Fowler – now head coach of A-League side Brisbane Roar – added: "When Liverpool won the Champions League in 2005, when we lost it in 2007, I don't think there was quite the sense that the club was on the verge of something like it is now. With Jurgen Klopp there for at least three more years and none of his stars likely to leave, they will grow, no doubt."
