The Reds’ coach, Jurgen Klopp claimed to be the happiest man on earth as he couldn’t hide his emotions while speaking to Liverpoolfc.com after the victory. The German technician couldn’t stop the emotional tears that flowed down his cheeks as he sees the victory as a dream come true.
“If I tried to start talking about it [how I feel] again I will start crying again and that doesn’t work really well! I am completely overwhelmed; I don’t know, it’s a mix of everything – I am relieved, I am happy, I am proud. I couldn’t be more proud of the boys.
“How we watched the game tonight together, we knew it could happen, it couldn’t not happen, we didn’t know. We want to play football and we are really happy that we are allowed to play again – then when it happened in that moment, it was a pure explosion.
“When we counted down the last five seconds of the game, the ref counted down a little bit longer than us so we had to look at two or three more passes! Then it was pure… I cannot describe it. It was a really, really nice moment.
Directly after it, I felt so empty inside – I cannot believe it, I am really not happy with myself in the moment that I feel like I feel, but it’s just a little bit too much in the moment. I will be fine, nobody has to worry. I actually couldn’t be happier; I couldn’t have dreamed of something like that and I never did before last year, honestly.
“We were not close enough three years ago, a year ago we were really close… what the boys have done in the last two-and-a-half years, the consistency they show is absolutely incredible and second to none. Honestly, I have no idea how we do that all the time.
“Last night, a very good example – we played a game like the stadium is fully packed and everybody is shouting ‘Liverpool’ or whatever constantly. It is a wonderful moment, that’s what I can say.”
Liverpool faces Manchester city next and it is expected that Man City, as a sign of respect will need to give Liverpool a guard of honor.
Manchester city were expected to beat Chelsea so they could delay Liverpool from getting the trophy but Chelsea’s Christian Pulisic had no much time to waste as he fired in the first goal after a beautiful run in the 36th minute of the game- then after first half, Manchester city’s playmaker Kevin-De Bruyne scored the equalizer at the 55th minute and it looked like Chelsea was going to lose until they won a penalty by a foul committed by Fernandinho and penalty awarded to Chelsea which Willian brilliantly converted into the second and the winning goal. The goal which actually served as a handing over tool for Liverpool.
Congratulations to ‘The Reds’.
