Liverpool Boss, Jurgen Klopp has revealed the that his side defied expectations by beating RB Leipzig in a Champions League clash on Tuesday.
Mohammed Salah and Saido Mane scored two second half goals to give Liverpool a deserved victory.

“It was the game we wanted, the game we needed. Leipzig can be a real monster – they overrun teams, they are really physical and tonight we controlled them in an exceptional way.
“For two years we’ve been really good and this year we have some problems. It’s normal that the talk starts – I have no problem with that. But the boys showed what they can do.”
The second leg will take place on March 10 and Leipzig will be hoping to fight back.
