Jordan Henderson says Jurgen Klopp gave Liverpool belief
Jordan Henderson says Jurgen Klopp’s pre-match words inspired Liverpool’s “amazing” Champions League comeback against Barcelona.
Seven days ago, Liverpool’s chances of reaching a second Champions League final in 12 months appeared all but gone after they left the Nou Camp with a 3-0 defeat, courtesy of Lionel Messi’s double.
But on another big European night at Anfield, Liverpool – without key men Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah – kept Messi quiet and stunned the Spanish champions, winning 4-0 on the night and 4-3 on aggregate.
Henderson insists his team never doubted themselves despite the mountainous task ahead, and says they were driven on by one key individual.
„The manager always believes, you can see that in the talk he gave to us before we came to the stadium and that helps the players believe,“ the Liverpool captain said.
„You can see within the game that we believed right from the first minute. We started well got a good goal, kept believing, kept fighting and got our rewards in the end.
„Within the team is always belief and that’s the great thing about this team.
„An amazing night. A special one really, for the fans, for the team, for everyone. I’m not sure people expected it before the game, but we said to each other we would fight right until the end and give everything – we managed to do that tonight.“
Divock Origi, who scored two crucial goals, and Xherdan Shaqiri filled in for the missing Salah and Firmino, while James Milner was forced to move to left-back at the start of the second-half to cover for the injured Andy Robertson.
Virgil van Dijk was full of praise for the squad members who came in and helped the team overcome a seemingly insurmountable task.
He said: „I think everyone is ready to come in, ready to do the job. Everyone knows what they have to do. I think the key to us playing is doing it all together.
„We attack together, we defend together. If the ball is in one position of the pitch we are going to make sure we fight for the ball altogether.
„We played fantastic. Obviously they are going to have moments because they are a fantastic team. It’s just amazing to go to the final.“
