Ballon d'OrHow does the Ballon d’Or work?8 HOURS AGO “I liked the first half already. It was well played,” he told BT Sport. “The reaction was good.

In our good spells in the first half we played well between the lines. It would have been pretty exhausting for Rangers to defend us in these moments. And then Darwin, and Mo as well.

And Harvey, huh? «A different position for Salah, more inside. Maybe we have to force him a bit. He is an outstanding player and today he showed that.

Firmino played an exceptional game.” Klopp praised all of the team, stating: “To be honest I didn’t see a lot of players tonight who didn’t play really well. Harvey played super, Fabio [Carvalho] played top, both sixes from the beginning really there, the centre-halves top, everybody was spot on. It was a difficult game, and it could have been much more difficult, so I am really pleased.

»The atmosphere was massive. We played football, and when we play football to our potential, we are a pretty good football team. We have to prove consistency.
