It's an atypical Saturday for one of the biggest teams in the world, FC Barcelona was shown what Liverpool FC is capable of this season with Leo Messi and Luis Suarez included in the International Champions Cup friendly match at Wembley Stadium. Jurgen Klopp's team completely owned the Catalan club that wasn't able to find the back of the net and gave their worst performance of the pre-season. The German coach was really happy with his players after the match, the goals were scored by Sadio Mane, Marko Grujic, Divock Origi and Javier Mascherano scored an own goal against his team.
After the match, Jurgen Klopp told the press that: "Of course I’m happy with the result and a lot of parts of the game. Most parts on the tactical side. Always when we were active we were really good and when we were defending, our passing game after winning balls, our direction - great football, good build-up, we played between their rows and in the half-spaces and it was all good. But we saw then that after 30-something minutes in the first half, we became a little more passive and we needed a bit of luck when they hit the post, and one time Dejan and one time Simon, but that’s football and of course that can happen against Barca so that’s not a big problem."
He continued: "I could be sitting here today when we had lost 4-0. Life would have not been that nice as it is at the moment, but [it would be] useful too because of the things you can learn. But it was Barca, it was a friendly and a lot of things can happen. If they start playing then it’s pretty difficult to defend. But of course when you win 4-0 you have to use it. It was wonderful today, special – 90,000 people here for a friendly game and they could enjoy the game. I would say 98 percent of what happened today was really great."
About Barcelona, he added: "Barcelona were not bad, are never bad. I think we did really well around the goals especially,a and in one or two situations we needed a little bit of luck to defend, it's clear. Barcelona start one week later in the season, that's a difference in pre-season always. Obviously, for us, it was a more important game because 90,000 were here because of us - and Suarez and maybe Messi - but they were here because of my team. So we had a little bit more pressure but maybe we were a little bit more motivated. It's a friendly game and I don't want to overestimate this game but it's still good for us. We didn't think before the game we are one level with Barca and we don't think after the game we are on a higher level than Barca - we are not crazy. But the only job to do today was to play football as good as possible and we did it, and I've no idea how good Barca can be but I'm pretty sure better than today."
