Jurgen Klopp was lost for words following Liverpool’s extraordinary Champions League triumph over Barcelona – and could only describe his players as ‘f****** giants’.
The Reds boss could be excused for swearing live on TV – BT Sport host Gary Lineker refused to apologise to viewers – after his side pulled off a miraculous 4-0 victory against the Spanish giants to reach the Champions League final.

Klopp was overcome with joy
Klopp told BT Sport after the game: “It’s ten past ten, most of the children are probably in bed. These boys are f****** giants.
“It’s unbelievable. It is unbelievable. Fine me, fine me if you want.
“I’m not native, I don’t have better words for it. It is unbelievable.”

Divock Origi struck twice either side of Georginio Wijnaldum’s quickfire double on an unbelievable night at Anfield.
The Reds became only the fourth side in Champions League history to overturn a three-goal first leg deficit despite injuries to Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino.
Emotional scenes followed the full-time whistle and Klopp was, understandably, completely overcome with joy.

Origi struck the winner
He added: “The whole game. The whole performance was too much. It was overwhelming. I watched in my life so many football games but I can’t remember many like this.
“Winning is already difficult but winning with a clean sheet I don’t know how the boys did it.

Liverpool celebrate with the crowd at full time
“I saw James Milner crying after the game on the pitch, it means so much to all of us.
“There are more important things in the world but creating this kind of atmosphere is so special.”
He added in his press conference: “It’s a special night, very special. Winning against Barcelona is obviously one of the most difficult things in the world of football.
“Winning against Barcelona when you’re 3-0 down, makes it not easier.
“We had to score four goals and was not allowed to concede pretty much. We made it more difficult, so we didn’t really think about it to be 100 per cent honest.
“We tried to build on the performance in Barcelona and all the good things we did there and try to win the game step by step.
“We attacked with whatever we have and can throw on the pitch. That made it a really special game, it made us really difficult to play against tonight.
“What the boys did and that was this mix of again a big heart and football skills. It’s unbelievable.
“But then we know, and we didn’t learn in the first game and we knew it before already, if you have chances, you have to score because otherwise you get punished. Tonight we scored, in different ways.”
Liverpool’s spectacular victory has them dreaming of two trophies.
While Manchester City are in the driving seat for the Premier League title heading into Sunday’s finale, the Reds will look to capitalise on any slip up by beating Wolves.

Klopp said his players did not want to talk about City’s win against Leicester ahead of Tuesday’s match at Anfield, where they sealed the chance to make amends for last season’s Champions League final loss to Real Madrid.
“The plan was to go to Madrid and get it in there finally,” Klopp said.
“That was the plan actually and now we go there in three weeks’ time. I am really looking forward to that.
“With the Premier League, nothing changed really. We knew we have to win the game against Wolves and then we will see what happens around.”
