Mourinho tells Klopp: This Liverpool victory is all yours

Former Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho paid tribute to Jurgen Klopp after Liverpool's stunning victory over Barcelona.

The Reds are into the Champions League final after defeating Barca 4-0 on Tuesday night and 4-3 on aggregate.

Mourinho said: "This is about him. This is a reflection of his personality, don't give up, his fighting spirit.

"Everything I think today is about Jurgen's mentality."

Klopp was in a spirited mood himself after the match and even swore on BT Sport.

"The boys are f***ing giants - it's believable," said Klopp. "If you have to fine me, fine me. I'm not native so I don't have better words for it."
