minutes earlier, had lost his team in Madrid against Atlético 0:1, but Klopp has already had the final the eighth match in the head; in their own stadium Anfield, this of a lot of history mixed football temple, which was filled on Wednesday night with 54’000 spectators, inside impact, in spite of the escalating Corona Situation.
And, perhaps, had guessed Klopp as that at Anfield, another game for the collective memory would take place; one that was not 90, but 120 minutes. And in these 120 minutes happened enough to make two or three football games entertaining.
As Georginio Wijnaldum scored, for example, just before the break, the 1:0 and atlético goalkeeper Jan Oblak once again showed a fabulous performance with more than a dozen power of the financial statements.

In stoppage time, Alvaro Morata, the 3:2 for Atlético scored, bringing the Spaniard in the quarter – final and not the defender of the title. For the first Time since the 2012/13 season, a defending champion to fail in the Champions League before the quarter-final. Or to say it with Jürgen Klopp’s words: It’s over.
