Liverpool assistant coach Pep Lijnders has explained how the team masterminded their famous 4-0 win over Barcelona in 2019.
It was announced on Thursday that Lijnders’ contract with Liverpool had been extended until 2026, following the news of Jurgen Klopp signing a new deal with the Reds . The Dutch coach has been a part of the club’s coaching setup since 2014, albeit briefly leaving to manage NEC Nijmegen in 2018.
However, the 39-year-old was back in the Liverpool dugout for the club’s unforgettable comeback in their Champions League semi-final against Barcelona. Trailing 3-0 from the first leg, both Gini Wijnaldum and Divock Origi scored two apiece as the Reds recorded the most unlikely of comebacks.
