Mourinho offers Klopp advice after Barcelona loss
Jose Mourinho thinks Jurgen Klopp and his Liverpool team have to “fight until the possible is impossible” against Barcelona in the Champions League.
The Reds lost 3-0 in the first leg of their semi-final against Ernesto Valverde’s men as two goals from Lionel Messi in the last 15 minutes of the match gave Klopp’s men an uphill battle in the second leg.
And Mourinho, who was watching the match as a pundit, thinks that Barca will go through but reckons Klopp has to keep believing.
“He [Klopp] has to think that anything is possible in football,” Mourinho told Russia Today.
“He has to think what I know he thinks – he has a very good team. He has a real team and they are going to fight until the possible is impossible.
“When the result was 2-0, I was thinking it’s open. When they miss the late chance for the 3-1, I would say open.
“But 3-0 is 3-0, it’s hard to believe, but Barcelona have an incredibly negative experience with Roma recently.
“I know that Liverpool at Anfield is really hard, the team is good, but if Barcelona score one goal they have to concede five.
“I think it’s too much and I think the team has that appetite. Messi is dragging everyone with him with that appetite to make it happen. I think Barcelona has it.”
