Jurgen Klopp says he didn't see Divock Origi goal against Barcelona

Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp says he missed the moment when Divock Origi scored the 4th goal against Barcelona in the second leg of Champions League semi-finals. Belgium international scored after Trent Alexander-Arnold's amazing decision to take the corner kick, while Barcelona players were caught napping. "Unfortunately, the most incredible moment in the history of the Champions League… I didn’t actually see it," Klopp told The Player's Tribune. "Maybe this is a good metaphor for the life of a football manager, I don’t know. But I completely missed Trent Alexander-Arnold’s moment of pure genius. "I saw the ball go out for a corner. I saw Trent walking over to take it. I saw Shaqiri following him. But then I turned my back because we were preparing to make a substitution. I was talking to my assistant, and… you know, I have goose bumps every time I think about it… I just heard the noise. "I turned to the pitch and I saw the ball flying into the goal. I turned back to our bench and looked at Ben Woodburn, and he said, “What just happened?!” And I said, “I have no idea!” "Anfield was going — boof — absolutely crazy. I could barely hear my assistant, and he was yelling, “So… do we still make the substitute?” Hahahaha! I will never forget him saying that! That will always be with me. "Can you imagine? Eighteen years as a manager, millions of hours watching this game, and I missed the cheekiest thing that has ever happened on a football pitch. Since that night, I have probably watched the video of Divock’s goal 500,000 times. But in person, I only saw the ball hit the net." German added. Liverpool produced one of the most incredible comeback in the history of the Champions League to reach the final and beat Tottenham Hotspur at Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.
