"We know this club is the mix of atmosphere, emotion, desire and football quality. Cut off one and it doesn't work," announced Jurgen Klopp, not long after masterminding one of football's greatest ever comebacks.

Liverpool were trailing Barcelona by three goals to nil from the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tie at the Nou Camp, and were faced with the impossible task of scoring four to progress to the final.

But the Reds pulled it off against the odds, with doubles from Georginio Wijnaldum and Divock Origi at Anfield sending them to Madrid.

As aforementioned, Klopp reflected on all the components that made Liverpool's achievement possible. And it's interesting he mentioned "atmosphere" above all else when making his list.

Jurgen Klopp gestures to the Liverpool fans

Anfield is known for being a hostile and formidable environment, and Klopp knew that if the fans were on form in the second leg, his Liverpool players would have a greater chance of turning the tie around.

Klopp was filmed on the touchline before the game, and was captured momentarily turning towards supporters in the stand and patting the Liverpool badge on his jacket.

The gesture was designed to not only show how much the team means to him, but to spur the fans on to be the twelfth man in a game Liverpool needed them to be more than ever before. And it worked.

"The whole game was too much," said Klopp, after achieving the unthinkable. "Winning is difficult but with a clean sheet, I don't know how they did it.
