Former Manchester United head coach Jose Mourinho has given his verdict on Champions League semi-finals second leg between Liverpool and Barcelona at Anfield Road.
Merseyside club lost to Barcelona 3-0 in Spain, but managed to make another historical comeback, beating Lionel Messi and co 4-0 due to doubles from Divock Origi and Georginio Wijnaldum.
Mourinho told beIN Sports after the match:
“I repeat, I think Jurgen (Klopp) is the biggest responsible of this achievement, by his fantastic personality, his fantastic mentality and the team was there and the team believed, and as we said at half time, the second goal would create a very difficult atmosphere for Barcelona to cope with.”
“But then, when you see the result like this, you have also to speak about collapse and Barcelona totally collapsed” Portuguese added.
