Jurgen Klopp was almost lost for words in the wake of Liverpool's scintillating win over Villarreal.

The Merseyside club defeated the Spaniards 3-0 in the Europa League semi-final second leg at Anfield on Thursday night thanks to an early own-goal from Bruno plus second-half strikes from Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana.

Despite at one point suggest this side had lost patience during the first half, Klopp's second interview after the game was full of praise for his side who booked their place in the final with a commanding performance.

"I have not the right words for this performance so maybe you can find a few - it is your job," he told his post-match press conference.

"It was nice to watch, be part of it, the whole performance from 6.45pm when we drove through the road again.

"The first half-hour was power, the will was obvious and 15 minutes (of the first half) we lost a bit of patience.

"Second half we were back to the plan. We were very emotional plus very smart and scored some wonderful goals."

The Reds will now saddle up for their second final of the season under Klopp, this time in the form of Europe's second tier club competition decider against back-to-back winners Sevilla in Basel on May 18.
