Jurgen Klopp singles out ‘unbelievable’ Liverpool player after Bayern Munich draw

Both Liverpool and Bayern Munich struggled to create many chances on the night but there was one player who impressed with his performance. Jordan Henderson delivered an industrious display ahead of Liverpool’s makeshift central defensive pairing of Joel Matip and Fabinho, who covered for the suspended Virgil Van Dijk. And Jurgen Klopp hailed both Henderson’s and the rest of the team's performance by admitting that the game was not a classic afterwards. He told BT Sport: "First of all a clean sheet without the big man [Virgil Van Dijk], probably not a lot of people would have expected that so that was very good. Defending in general was very good and of course, Hendo did a brilliant job in there, it was unbelievable how many balls he won back and stuff like that, it was a fantastic game from him. ‘But that’s actually what we expect [from him] as well." The England international has endured a stop-start season having suffered from minor injuries and a suspension and he had missed Liverpool’s previous two fixtures against West Ham and Bournemouth with a muscle problem prior to being recalled against Bayern.
