Jurgen Klopp reserved special praise for the atmosphere generated by the Nottingham Forest fans in last night’s FA Cup quarter-final.
Liverpool squeezed into the semi-finals, where they will meet Manchester City, thanks to Diogo Jota’s late goal. But the Premier League giants were pushed all the way by Steve Cooper’s side in a game which rekindled memories of the time the sides were regularly battling against each other for the title and European glory 40-plus years ago.
Ahead of the game, Klopp admitted his only real knowledge of Nottingham revolved around Robin Hood, but he has much more information now following a passionate occasion at the City Ground. The German even said the game reminded him of a European night.
