Jurgen Klopp admits he missed Divock Origi's winner in the Champions League semi-final win over Barcelona.

Origi scored from Trent Alexander-Arnold's quick corner to make it 4-0 and secure the Reds' place in the final.

"Unfortunately, the most incredible moment in the history of the Champions League I didn't actually see it," Klopp said.

"Maybe this is a good metaphor for the life of a football manager, I don't know. But I completely missed Trent Alexander-Arnold's moment of pure genius.

"I saw the ball go out for a corner. I saw Trent walking over to take it. I saw Shaqiri following him. But then I turned my back because we were preparing to make a substitution. I was talking to my assistant, and you know, I have goose bumps every time I think about it I just heard the noise.

"I turned to the pitch and I saw the ball flying into the goal. I turned back to our bench and looked at Ben Woodburn, and he said, "What just happened?!" And I said, "I have no idea!"'

"Anfield was going boof absolutely crazy. I could barely hear my assistant, and he was yelling, "So do we still make the substitute?" Hahahaha! I will never forget him saying that! That will always be with me."
