Liverpool is back in big football, says Klopp after team thrashed Bayern

“It is an important win for different reasons. Important money-wise, but also confidence-wise.
“Liverpool’s self-awareness now must be ‘we are back. We are back on the landscape. Back in big football’.
“That was part of the plan when we started the project.
“We still have space for improvement, but beating Bayern here is a big one.”
These were the words of Liverpool coach, Juergen Klopp, after his team defeated Bayern Munich in the UEFA Cmapions League on Wednesday.
Liverpool, five-times European champions and last season’s Champions League runners-up, eased past the Bavarians and into the quarter-finals with two goals from Sadio Mane and one from Virgil van Dijk after a goalless first leg at Anfield.
In a dominant performance, Liverpool shrugged off an early ankle injury to captain Jordan Henderson and kept their cool after Bayern’s equaliser through Joel Matip’s own goal late in the first half.
Liverpool then scored with headers from Van Dijk in the 69th minute and Mane in the 84th to book their spot in the last eight.
