After sealing Liverpool's spot in the final, Klopp reckoned, "I think it was [one of our best outings]. That was the feeling I had when I saw the first half because of the quality of the opponent. We did all the right stuff. We scored in the right moments; I have to say we played an incredible game in the first half. I loved each second of it."

Liverpool already has won the EFL Cup this season and looks on course for the FA Cup success, as it will take on the winner of the Chelsea vs Crystal Palace clash, which takes place at Wembley on Sunday. The Reds are also racing to win the English Premier League (EPL) and the UEFA Champions League (UCL). However, Klopp is not thinking far ahead about his side scripting the quadruple this term.

"You can mention it how many times you want. It doesn't make it more likely. A game like today shows even more how unlikely it is. To go through against City is incredibly difficult and intense, and in three days, we play again against Manchester United. They will be on their toes, and it is historically not a friendly game," Klopp wondered.

"We came here, we wanted to go to the final, we knew about the problems, but with the quadruple, qualifying for this final makes it even more difficult. It is the only way to do it, but it makes it more difficult. It is a strange situation, but we are over the moon. We beat the strongest football team globally, and that is a pretty special moment," concluded Klopp.
