Klopp hails his Liverpool record-breakers after victory over Leicester | OneFootball

Jurgen Klopp hailed his Liverpool record-breakers after victory over Leicester City.

Klopp's side set a new club landmark of 64 home league matches without defeat – eclipsing the great team of the late 1970s and early 1980s – with Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino on the scoresheet in a 3-0 win over Leicester after Jonny Evans' early own goal.

“My problem is that in the moment I spoke so much about football and I think about the next game," he said.

“But there will be a moment in the future when I think back and hopefully it will not be the number 64 but more.

“It is incredible but all about the boys. It is really difficult to achieve something like this but when you think about how tight a lot of the games were and the boys had to dig in and they did that.

“The boys on the pitch performance-wise are incredible and that is the only reason for the number. It is difficult to set records at this club because our fathers and grandfathers were obviously pretty good.

“I am happy for the players but it doesn't feel like this in the moment because we play on Wednesday (against Atalanta in the Champions League)."
