Jurgen Klopp compares Villarreal triumph to Liverpool's famous Barcelona comeback

Jurgen Klopp has compared Liverpool's victory against Villarreal to their famous European comebacks against Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund.

The Reds recovered from 2-0 down to beat Villarreal 3-2 in Spain on Tuesday evening. The result completed a 5-2 aggregate triumph for Klopp's side, helping them reach this month's Champions League final in Paris - their third under the German's management.

Liverpool suffered a 3-0 defeat to Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final three years ago before winning the return game 4-0. They went on to defeat Tottenham 2-0 in Madrid's showpiece event to lift their sixth European crown.
