Jurgen Klopp expressed his delight at being reunited with Liverpool cult hero Divock Origi after the 4-1 win over AC Milan. Speaking before the Milan game,
Jurgen Klopp paid tribute to Origi: “I get really emotional hearing the name. I’ve not seen him yet. I think most of the things we’ve achieved in recent years wouldn’t have been possible without Divock Origi.”
Goals from Mohamed Salah, Thiago Alcantara and Darwin Nunez saw the Reds run out comfortable winners against Milan, who then won the mandatory penalty shoot-out 4-3.
Jurgen Klopp said: “We played a really good game. I liked how our midfield was connected, I liked our build-up because they surprised us a little bit with the system – I’m not sure they played it very often but because of their problems what they have with injuries they changed. So building up with three, we needed to adapt a little bit. When we did that, pressing was really good as well.”
