Jurgen Klopp was keen to praise Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones after Liverpool's 2-0 win against Napoli at Anfield on Tuesday evening.
The Reds won their final Champions League group game thanks to late goals from Mohamed Salah and Nunez. The result was not enough for Klopp's side to finish top of the group, as Napoli's superior goal difference was enough to give them the coveted spot.
Klopp surprised fans when he started Jones, a central midfielder by trade, on the left wing ahead of more conventional choices in Nunez, Fabio Carvalho and Harvey Elliott - who all started from the bench. Yet the decision was vindicated on Merseyside.
