Joel Matip’s own goal gave the German side hope of reaching the quarter-finals but the second-half headers from Van Dijk and Mane secured a deserved win for Liverpool.Klopp couldn’t get enough of Mane’s first goal though, saying after the game: “What we did was just brilliant, the goals we scored, fantastic!“The first goal (from Mane), I’m going to have to watch back 500 times. It’s astounding what he did.”Liverpool outclassed their opponents and Klopp was very impressed with his players’ maturity in the second leg.Klopp celebrates with the travelling Liverpool fans3

He added:“In the second half we were very mature. In the first, we should have played more football but in a game like this, you can never rest.“In the end it’s absolutely deserved, that’s the main news because it’s so difficult to play here.“They [Bayern] don’t lose a lot of games here (at the Allianz Arena), but this is a really big one. I’m so proud of the boys, the way they did it.“It didn’t look like Bayern would outplay us and that gave us confidence.” The victory is all the more sweet for Klopp, who viewed Bayern as a nemesis when he was managing in his homeland.However, the ex-Borussia Dortmund boss insisted he wasn’t taking extra pleasure from the result and said his motivation to win the tie came from his determination to succeed at Liverpool.Klopp added:“I didn’t want to beat Bayern for beating Bayern.“I wanted to win with Liverpool. It’s for us. It’s another wonderful night for Liverpool in the Champions League again.”
