Following his side’s fantastic comeback against Newcastle, after going 1-0 down and then being reduced to 10 men on the half-hour mark, the Liverpool manager said it was a more “difficult victory than the remontada against Barcelona”.

Liverpool, who were reduced to ten men for over an hour, put in an incredible performance at St. James Park. The Reds pulled off an epic, late comeback against the Magpies with a brace from new signing Darwin Nunez.

“We all pulled together, dug deep and delivered something for the ages,” Trent Alexander-Arnold commented on ‘Sky Sports’, the defender praising “a historic performance, one of our best since the arrival of coach” Jurgen Klopp in 2015.

Jurgen Klopp, who also spoke to the media after the match, agreed with his player and went even further. For the Reds coach, “it was certainly one of the best games of my career, it was more difficult than the UCL comeback against Barcelona“.

In 2019, Liverpool lost the first leg of their Champions League semi-final 3-0 to Barca, but the eventual winners won the second leg 4-0 at Anfield, writing one of the finest pages in their history and in the history of football.
