Joel Matip hails Klopp for Liverpool 4-0 Barca a year on

Joel Matip, Liverpool's German defender, spoke about his team's 4-0 win over Barcelona that happened a year ago, praising coach Jurgen Klopp for his team-talk.

“He kept us believing that we had a chance, that we really could create something that we could tell our kids about in the future,” Matip told Liverpool's website.

“We knew if we could keep a clean sheet it would be important. But even so, it wasn’t a big opportunity for us even if we kept a clean sheet, it was already a hard challenge without conceding.

“So, we knew we had to do it together because you can’t defend these kind of forwards on your own. The whole team was running the whole time, you always had help from wide, from the right, from the left and from the front - everybody knew everybody had to work to keep a clean sheet to have a bigger chance to go to the next round.”
