Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp is of the opinion that his team’s victory over Barcelona is better than winning a trophy.
After seeing his team written off before the clash, the Reds pulled off a remarkable comeback to stun Barcelona and fans all over the world.
Goals from Divock Origi and Georginio Wijnaldum ensured their participation in the UCL final and Klopp has shared that such moment is a very big deal.
His words, “A moment like this is worth more than silverware,”
“This season has been a year full of wonderful moments, wonderful moments altogether. Looking forward to games, enjoying games and last Tuesday was like the icing on the cake so far. Wow. That’s exactly the picture we want to draw for the outside world – this is Liverpool.
“It’s possible here. It’s possible in this club and in this city with the people around. That’s the picture. If that leads to silverware, then wonderful. But we cannot do more. If people judge me on not winning something in the past or winning something in the future, I cannot change that.
“We do all this for entertainment. The people that go there want to go there and enjoy the game. They think two days before and three days after about this game.
“Heart surgeries are much more important but I don’t think people want to read as much about heart surgeries as they do about football. That’s clear.”
“If you struggle in a game, they hit the post and the bar but you win it, that’s good for looking back and saying, ‘that year we won it and oh we were lucky’. It’s a nice story but it doesn’t help with development,”
“The job is to develop as far and as high as possible so it gets more and more likely that you win silverware and that’s what we’ve done so far.
“Now we go to a final and we’ll play it, learn from the past few years and see what we can do there.”
