What's the news?
Former Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho was full of praise for Jurgen Klopp after the German manager guided his team to a remarkable comeback against Barcelona in the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League.
In case you didn't know...
After a disappointing 3-0 loss in the first leg of UEFA Champions League semi-final tie against Barcelona at the Camp Nou, Liverpool pulled off a stunning 4-0 (4-3 aggregate) victory in the second leg at Anfield, qualifying for the finals of Europe's elite competition for the second successive year.

"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."
Jurgen Klopp also reacted after his team's stunning comeback against the Spanish giants.
The German manager said,
"The boys are f****** giants - it's believable. If you have to fine me, fine me. I'm not native so I don't have better words for it."
What's next?
