More from Jurgen Klopp

Caoimh was unbelievable. Such a mature performance. I say it often: we have the best goalkeeper in the world and the best No2 in the world. I’m so happy for him. Top game.

[On Ryan Gravenberch’s injury] There were two teams fighting extremely hard and the referee didn’t have the level of the game. That’s how it is; I’m sorry for that. You can make a story of that but everybody saw it. He didn’t even whistle for a foul! And then the fourth official said to me, ‘Yeah because of that we cannot give a card.’ Oh, good idea.

I hope it’s not broken, but there is some ligament damage. It’s all bad. You asked me about it and actually I feel really bad, but everything else was brilliant.

I love this country to bits but the schedule is not made for winning a lot. We won tonight, we should cherish that. Tee celebration after the game was top class, I loved it. That’s all perfect. The rest: give me a few seconds to process how we can go forward from here.
