Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says the secret to their stunning defeat of Barcelona was being "cheeky".

The Reds are into the Champions League final after 4-0 win at Anfield, winning their semifinal tie 4-3 on aggregate.

Klopp said: "The whole game was too much. It was overwhelming. We played against maybe the best team in world. Winning is difficult but winning with a clean sheet, I don't know they did it. It's unbelievable.

"I saw James Milner crying on the pitch after the game. It means so much to all of us. It's the best phase of football. There are more important things in the world. But creating this emotional atmosphere together is so special. It's all about the players.

"The mix of potential and unbelievable heart is just a mix I never saw before. You have to be confident in a game like this. Divock and Shaq didn't play a lot. Putting a performance in like that, it was so important. It shows what's possible in football. It's so nice. It's really nice.

"We had to be serious. But we needed to be cheeky as well. It was necessary. Barcelona defend predictable things well. But you need to be unpredictable at moments. I saw the ball flying in the goal, I didn't see the corner. I didn't see who took the corner. Ben Woodburn said 'what happened?'"
