Jürgen Klopp made the impossible possible, as he took a damaged locker room and transformed it into a title contender in just seven months. The Reds reached their second final match under the German coach this season by defeating Villarreal with a stylish 3-0 scoreline.
Bruno's own goal, followed by strikes courtesy of Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana sealed Liverpool's place in the tournament's final match, preventing an all-Spanish definition of the competition, just like in the UEFA Champions League.
Fans and experts showed their appreciation after what they witnessed today, thanking their players and particularly their coach for their performance this evening. Here are some of their best comments on social media.
Klopp. A gem to this planet. https://t.co/eHieVFnvG3
