‘It Was Better Than Good’, Liverpool Boss Hails Players After UCL Seven-Goal Win

Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp, praised the manner in which the Reds carried out their tactical instructions as they recorded a huge victory over Maribor in the Champions League group E fixture on Tuesday night.

Reds thrashed Slovenian side Maribor to record the biggest away win by an English team in the history of the European Cup.

The Merseyside club made the European Cup history as the biggest away win by an English side, when they thrashed Maribor 7-0.

Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah both scored twice, with Philippe Coutinho, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Trent Alexander-Arnold also on target.

Reacting to his side’s tantalizing performance, Klopp said : “Good, or even better than that, from the first second it was exactly what we wanted to do.

“Tonight we did much better and against a football-playing side like Maribor, it made a lot of sense.

“It was good all-round a really, really good performance otherwise you cannot win 7-0, so we are really happy about that.”

On setting a new club record the 50-year-old coach said: “I was told about the record after the game and I didn’t know.

“The wonderful history of this club can feel like a backpack at times so it is nice to write our own good piece of the history.

“It will be difficult to beat that record. It is quite rare to win 7-0 but it showed we did unbelievably well.”

The two teams meet again in two weeks, and the Reds will be confident of another easy win at Anfield.
