Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was delighted with his record breakers for victory at Champions League opponents Maribor.

The Reds thumped Maribor 7-0 to go top of Group E in the Champions League. It was their first away in the Champions League group stage since November 2009.

The final score ensured Klopp's team surpassed the achievements of sides in 1964 (Reykjavik), 1976 (Crusaders) and 2001 (FC Haka), who had previously made Liverpool's biggest away win in Europe 5-0. So dominant were Liverpool, though, they could have easily amassed double figures.

On setting a record score, Klopp said: "It will give the players a lot of confidence. I was told about the record after the game and I didn't know about it. The wonderful history of this club can feel like a backpack at times so it is nice to write our own good piece of the history.

"It will be difficult to beat that record. It is quite rare to win 7-0 but it showed we did unbelievably well. Maribor were quite confident before the game for different reasons. We could read the papers over here because my assistant speaks the language and he said they were positive because no English team had won in Maribor (in the Champions League)."
