The biggest reason why Liverpool won this game was because of their style of play, the one instilled in the club by Jurgen Klopp. Klopp's style of play is based on pressing the opposing team and running more than their opposition which Liverpool did and everyone knows how many problems the famously known 'Gegenpress' caused Barcelona.

Another term that is used with Klopp's style of play is heavy metal football which means winning every duel, fighting for every loose ball, running for every lost cause, hard tackles and getting under the skin of the opposition. Every player on that pitch wearing the red did that. They were running as if their life depended on it and that passion and heart are commendable.

Klopp has given this club identity and I can safely say that this Liverpool team is something very special.
