Liverpool miraculously came back from 3-0 defeat to Barcelona and converted the score to 4-0 at Anfield, sending Barca out of the Champions League competition with an aggregate of (4-3).
Liverpool did the unexpected on Tuesday and subjected Barca to yet another humiliating defeat after last season’s loss to As Roma.
Jurgen Klopp ran out of words after the match and only expressed his joy.
“It’s a special night, very special. Winning against Barcelona is obviously one of the most difficult things in the world of football; winning against Barcelona when you are actually 3-0 down makes it not easier.
“It was really difficult to play against us tonight. What the boys did – this mix, again, of big heart and football skills – is unbelievable.
“I said it so often now, the thing that made it really possible – and I said to the boys before the game, ‘I don’t think it’s possible but because it’s you I think we have a chance’ – is because they are really mentality giants.
“It’s unbelievable after the season we played, the games we had, the injuries we have now in this moment. If you go out there and ask who bet a penny on us, I don’t think you’ll find a lot of people.
“And then going out there and putting a performance like this on the pitch is unbelievable. I’m really proud to be the manager of this team. What they did tonight is so special and I will remember it forever.
“I don’t know if it happened before and I don’t know if it can happen again. The boys did it and it was brilliant.”
