Ex Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho has praised Jurgen Klopp after the Liverpool boss overturned a 3 – 0 deficit against Barcelona to seal a brilliant qualification into the UCL final against Tottenham or Ajax.
Liverpool went into Tuesday’s semi-final second leg trailing 3-0, with their hopes of progression looking a huge mountain to climb.
But, in a very intimidating Anfield, Liverpool shocked Barca with a 4-0 result after braces from Georginio Wijnaldum and Divock Origi.
Jose Mourinho praised Klopp for the amazing comeback.
His words, “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,”
“But I have to say that for me, this remontada 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 player 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.
“Other coaches in other leagues they are crying, saying their players are playing too many matches when they play 30 or 35 matches.
“Everything I think today is about Jurgen’s mentality.”
