Manager reaction
Jurgen Klopp: Im so happy for the boys, Im so happy for all these people our fans. Im so happy for my family, they suffer every year when we go to a final on the last game of the season and we lose it.So they deserve it more than anybody. They are so supportive like they [the fans] are. Did you ever see a team like this?Fighting with absolutely no fuel in the tank anymore, both teams obviously, Tottenham came up and changed offensively.And then you have a goalkeeper who is making difficult things look easy. Its unbelievable, what a night!The night will be much better now. We have to do a few interviews, then show the cup off to the people, but it is maybe the best night of my life.GETTY9MATCH STATS AND FACTS
