PORTO (Reuters) - Liverpool face a testing Champions League semi-final against Barcelona, but have made a statement by reaching the last four for the second straight year and are equipped to deal with the very best, manager Juergen Klopp said.
Liverpool beat Porto 4-1 at the Dragao Stadium on Wednesday to advance 6-1 on aggregate with their attacking trio of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino all on target once again.
"That says something, it's a big statement for the club. OK we play Barca, maybe it's not too easy," the German added with a smile. Yet after Sadio Mane latched onto a Mohamed Salah ball to open the scoring following a VAR review, Liverpool were in charge and never lost their composure. "It was very, very difficult. We knew that before, that it will be a proper whirlwind here and that’s what they did," Klopp said.
