Former Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has admitted that he was wrong to write Liverpool off after they overturned a 3-0 deficit to reach the Champions League final.
Liverpool began one of the most miraculous comeback in the Champions League history with a Divock Origi’s goal after seven minutes and went on to seal a 4-0 victory on the night to complete a remarkable comeback.
After watching Liverpool’s comeback, Mourinho was forced to admit he was wrong to write them off and credited the win to Klopp’s never-say-die mentality.
He said “I didn’t expect this, I did say impossible is nothing. If it is possible, Anfield is one of the places to make the impossible possible. But I have to say, this comeback has one name – Jurgen. I think this is not about tactics or philosophy but heart and soul and fantastic empathy that he created with this group of players. They had the risk of finishing a fantastic season with nothing to celebrate and now they are one step from being European champions. I think Jurgen deserves this because the work they are doing in Liverpool is fantastic but I think this is about him, a reflection of his personality to not give up, his fighting spirit, every player giving everything. He is not crying if they miss one player, he is not crying if they play 50 or 60 matches per season. Everything today is about Jurgen’s mentality.”
