Watch: Jose Mourinho heaps praise on Jurgen Klopp for Liverpool's incredible comeback against Barcelona


"This is about him. This is a reflection of his personality, his fighting spirit." The words Jose Mourinho used to hail Jurgen Klopp after Liverpool's stunning comeback against Barcelona.

Liverpool produced one of the greatest comebacks in history as they overturned a 3-0 deficit against Barcelona by defeating the Spanish giants 4-0 at Anfield to reach their second successive Champions League final.

The odds were stacked massively against them after the first leg, especially with Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino absent, but two goals apiece from Divock Origi and half-time substitute Georginio Wijnaldum saw them progress 4-3 on a monumental night that sent Reds fans wild.

Mourinho, working as a pundit for beIN Sport, lavished praise on Liverpool manager Klopp for being able to inspire a group of players in a way few others could possibly replicate.
