Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp praised Thiago Alcantara's goal against Porto. Klopp, on the other hand, isn't surprised because Thiago does it all the time.
On matchday 5 of Group B of the 2021/2022 Champions League, Liverpool defeated Porto 2-0. Thiago and Mohamed Salah scored for the Reds in an early morning match at Anfield in the second half.
Indeed, for Liverpool, this match is no longer crucial. They have already qualified for the Round of 16 after all. Klopp, on the other hand, continues to field his strongest lineup.
Liverpool had excellent results in the group stage as well. In the five games that have been played, the Reds have always won. With 15 points, they are now in first place in Group B.
"So many good things happened tonight, players got minutes, rhythm, confidence, nobody got hurt," Klopp said. " Thiago's goal... wow!"
Porto, who started the day second in the group behind already-qualified Liverpool, wasted numerous first-half opportunities and were made to pay a heavy price
