- Liverpool risked it all when taking on Barcelona at Anfield, Jurgen Klopp recalls.
- The German says that it was the greatest game he was part of.
- The 2018/19 Barca were so good they could’ve won the competition, he adds.
“The plan was to jump in Barcelona’s face from the first second, so if we failed, we failed in our own way,” Jurgen Klopp said for The Greatest Games book while talking about the 4-0 Anfield comeback.
“We had nothing to lose that night. We wanted to make Barcelona uncomfortable from the first kick. And that is what we did.

“So far in my life, it is the greatest game I was ever part of, and one of the greatest ever, for sure. Maybe it was not against the Barcelona of Xavi and Iniesta, but they were good enough to win the competition and good enough to beat us.
“But not good enough to beat the team they faced at Anfield that night,” the German concluded.
Barcelona were unbeaten in the 2018/19 Champions League until they faced Liverpool at Anfield. After the convincing 3-0 win over the Reds at Camp Nou, Blaugrana suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat on Liverpool’s home ground.
