Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: Completely different to Naples performance

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was delighted with the way his players proved themselves for victory over Champions League opponents Napoli.

Mohamed Salah's goal sent Liverpool into the knockout phase and Klopp says it was very different to the defeat in Naples earlier this season.

The German said, "Everything changed, everything changed. I said in the meeting before the game tonight, if the first game we played there was good for anything, it was that they cannot have an idea who we are really because that was not us, that was somebody else.

"We could have made a six-hour meeting of that game because we made so many mistakes. Or we could ignore it. We decided to ignore it. We gave the boys the opportunity to do better in the next league game and that's what we did. The next league game was [Manchester] City. It was a tough game as well. And so we did everything tonight we had to do, the boys played an outstanding game."
