Jose Mourinho has heaped praise on Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp
It has been hailed as the best night in Liverpool’s European history, as they battled from 3-0 down from the first leg to beat Barcelona 4-0 at Anfield – without their two top goalscorers.
There were two unlikely heroes in Divock Origi and Georginio Wijnaldum, who scored two goals apiece, but this was a real team performance, spurred on by the tireless energy of captain Jordan Henderson.
But Mourinho believes Klopp was the real driving force behind the spectacular performance.
And the former Manchester United boss said he hopes the German can finally end his wait for the Champions League trophy this season, after losing two finals.
“I didn’t expect it, I said impossible is nothing, I said if it’s possible, Anfield is one of the places to make the impossible be possible,†Mourinho said as a pundit for beIN Sports.
“But I have to say that for me, this has one name – Jurgen.

“I think this is not about tactics, this is not about philosophy, this is about heart and soul, and a fantastic empathy he created with this group of players.
“They had the risk of finishing a fantastic season without anything to celebrate, and now they are one step from being European champions.
“I think Jurgen deserves, you know, the work they are doing in Liverpool is fantastic.
“But I think this is about him, this is a reflection of his personality, don’t give up, a fighting spirit, every playing giving everything.
“He’s not crying because he’s missing a player, he’s not crying because they are playing 50 or 60 matches per season.
