'Put it all in and Liverpool loves you'
'Put it all in and Liverpool loves you'
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp speaks to LFC TV: "Lose the Champions League final the night before and the people arrive here in the mood they are. It is absolutely outstanding. This is the best club in the world. I don't care what people think.
"You have to plan these kind of things. I hoped we would find something like this, something incredible.
"Yes we lost the last two trophies but these people don't forget. They know exactly what shift the boys put in. It is such a boost for everything that will come.
"I am proud of these players but I am proud of these people - unbelievable.
"When you see the eyes of the people, it's incredible. You don't have to win, you just have to put all that you have in and the people of Liverpool love you.
"I'm not drunk, just emotional."

Liverpool Supporters' Union Spirit of Shankly have put out a statement on last
night's scenes outside the Stade de France. They point to "the disorganisation
and shambolic mismanagement of a major final by Uefa." Spirit of Shankly said:
"Fans were not late.
Many began arriving more than two-and-a-half hours before
the scheduled kick-off time. They had legitimate tickets but failed to gain
entry. "The Merseyside Police representative in Paris made it clear: 'I can only
describe it as the worst European match I’ve ever worked or experienced. I
thought the behaviour of the fans at the turnstiles was exemplary in shocking
circumstances. You were not late 100 per cent'. "The failure rests with UEFA,
the French authorities and police.
" In continuing from our last post, Liverpool
Supporters' Union Spirit of Shankly added: "The consequence of such incompetence
was the not unusual heavy-handed response from the police and their
indiscriminate use of tear gas and pepper spray. "The French authorities and
police also failed to control gangs of local youths before and after the match.
Innocent fans were left distraught after they were assaulted, bags pick pocketed
and match tickets stolen."
The Union says its work with several bodies in the
build-up to the fixture was "ignored by Uefa and the relevant French
authorities". Their statement adds: "We will now work with those same
organisations to gather evidence of all affected by the events in Paris. It is
incumbent on Uefa, the French authorities and police to take responsibility.
They need to send representatives to Liverpool to meet with LFC and SOS. Lessons
need to be learned so that this never happens again."
