“So, we have to prove it by picking up points. We have to get points for ourselves,” Klopp said on Liverpool’s official website.
“After a short pre-season and with mixed results, we had the spotlight at the start of the season and played a good game against Manchester City. But then we fell for some reason.”
“In the end, it was the perfect afternoon for us. We obtained a lot of goals by different players. It’s a fantastic situation and we knew we needed it.”
