Jose Mourinho has paid a special tribute to Jurgen Klopp after Liverpool completed a stunning comeback against Barcelona to reach the Champions League final.

The former Manchester United manager believes the German coach has been integral to Liverpool’s success.

‘I didn’t expect it, I said impossible is nothing, I said if it’s possible, Anfield is one of the places to make the impossible be possible,’ Mourinho told beIN Sports.

‘But I have to say that for me, this has one name – Jurgen.

‘I think this is not about tactics, this is not about philosophy, this is about heart and soul, and a fantastic empathy he created with this group of players.

‘They had the risk of finishing a fantastic season without anything to celebrate, and now they are one step from being European champions.

‘I think Jurgen deserves, you know, the work they are doing in Liverpool is fantastic.
