TOPICS

3m30 – Liverpool looked so much better because they pressed so much more effectively from the front and Roberto Firmino produced a standout performance.

8m00 – Curtis Jones the latest example of technically gifted young British players and Klopp recognising him as an exceptional talent. He will have the belief he can impact this team for the next 10 years. His swagger is what he will take him to the next level.

20m30 – Not for the first time a chastening defeat that feels like the end of an era for Barcelona.
