“I think our set up was the biggest surprise tonight. We surprised ourselves, and yeah, these situations can happen.” quipped Klopp.
“It was difficult to defend, I think Diogo Jota moved particularly well between the lines, Darwin (Nunez) kept them awake.
“But now we will see what we do when we come to Rangers,” added, with the return fixture next week in Glasgow.
“We respect them a lot and we know it’s a different game, a different occasion.”
