Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp evoked memories of their famous Champions League win over Barcelona in 2019 during their last night’s furious second-half comeback to beat Luton 4-1.This incredible and passionate victory re-established a four-point lead over Manchester City, and the German boss – who’ll be leaving Anfield at the end of the season – was in jubilation after the final whistle.Anfield hurricane does it again! Four minutes of sudden magic destroy Luton”Tonight is one of those nights where it is difficult to stop talking. I am so happy,” said Klopp, who was without 11 first-team players, including forwards Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez, who remain doubtful for Sunday’s Carabao Cup final against Chelsea.”We had to ignore the fact we were 1-0 down and use the things that are good and improve the counter-press. The second half was a thunderstorm. Wow!Big hug from Klopp for debutant Jayden Danns.

Just because before the game, it was kind of similar. Many players missing, stuff like this. The team at that time ignored the fact of who was missing, and I want us to ignore the fact of who is missing.👊 Jurgen Klopp used the power of Liverpool’s Barcelona comeback to defeat Luton #liverpool | #premierleague pic.twitter.com/YA7MmfnxO6— Mirror Football (@MirrorFootball) February 22, 2024 “This is an example tonight. This is their Barcelona, now against Luton. A difficult situation, with plenty of reasons to give up in moments: not tonight and I saw only a super group fighting.”If you don’t limit yourself with bad thoughts, you can fly. And that’s what the boys did,” concluded Klopp.
