The elated German gaffer while speaking in his post-match conference said his team gave everything and deserved to win.

“We showed a lot, if not everything, what helped us into the position we are in now. 

“There are obviously different ways of football, different ways you can play this game but you don’t have to compare it, so it’s not too important. 

“What I saw on Wednesday night , I wanted to have that before this part of the season and I said to the boys.

“I want to see actually the best behind-closed-doors football ever’. 

“I’m not sure if it was the best football but it was, for sure, the best counter-pressing behind closed doors ever. 

“The attitude we showed tonight, the passion we showed was exceptional and we played some outstanding football. 

“The goals we scored were exceptional. In my job you usually have to calm things down and say, ‘No, no that was not that good and we can improve’. 

“And we can improve, I know that, but that’s not important t. 

“Wednesday night is only important that we gave this sign and that we showed our supporters the respect they deserve, that we can play like they are here, even when they are not here. 

“Yes, they can push us to incredible things and without them it’s nothing like it is when they are here. 

Klopp admitted he missed the atmosphere in Anfield created by the supporters during games.

“And I never missed them more than tonight because imagine this game would have had 55,000 people in the stadium and the emotions which would have then been in the stadium – that would’ve been incredible. 

“But we cannot have that in the moment and so it was important that we showed our respect to people and that is what the boys did tonight. I loved it.

Liverpool will not be involved in action till next week Thursday when they travel to Etihad Stadium to play Manchester City.
