This was a tough match for Klopp and his men. However, the German set his side up well to beat Chelsea. He ensured that the players under him trusted in the gameplan and it showed by their performances.

He was brought on with only 2 minutes to spare but he did nothing to jeopardise his legacy. It would be unjust to give him a rating for such a short stint.
