“We made mistakes. It’s not too smart but it can happen. You have to stay brave. It’s like a dream to play the first time at Anfield. You have to stay on track and I really loved it that they wanted it at the end. All the goals they scored were lovely. Arsenal’s goals – apart from Willock’s – were a bit scrappy, but who cares? it’s about being a hero on a night like this,” Klopp commented.
