“Absolute pride,” Klopp said when asked how he felt. Although he cashed twice after the change of sides, he no longer lost the lead and continues to dream of winning all four trophies for the first time in a single season. He already has the League Cup, in the Premier League he loses a single point to the leading City and both clubs are also in the semifinals of the Champions League. “We still have a lot of matches to do,” he declined to speculate.

But after the cup victory over the City, he shone with happiness. “Incredible. It was the best first half we’ve ever played. We did everything right, scored goals at the right time. We were really great. I enjoyed every second,” said the 54-year-old German, who has been leading Liverpool since 2015.

So far, he has won the Premier League (2020) with him, the Champions League, the Super Cup a year earlier and the League Cup in February this year. But Klopp reminded that there is still a long way to go to any other trophies. “Basically, we won’t rest until the end of the season. Now we mainly want to win another match. Then we’ll see,” he said.

But the idea of a “quadruple” creeps into Liverpool’s heads. “It’s a dream of all of us. We will fight for it,” said Sadio Mané, author of two Saturday’s goals. “We played much better than City, whose quality is great. But our progress was deserved,” added Klopp, whose team tied City 2: 2 less than a week ago in the league.
