Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool's 4-0 win over Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final was one of the best moments in football history

Jurgen Klopp believes Liverpool's dramatic victory over Barcelona is one of the "best moments in football history", but insists his focus is now on Sunday's Premier League match against Wolves.

Liverpool reached their second consecutive Champions League final on Tuesday night after beating the La Liga champions 4-0 at Anfield, miraculously overturning a three-goal deficit from the first leg at the Nou Camp.

Klopp's attention immediately turns to domestic matters and the visit of Wolves this weekend, with Liverpool still in contention for the Premier League title heading into the final day of the season.

"He couldn't activate the muscle anymore because of some nerve. They should be fine. Bobby - not for the weekend but a little bit of time should be enough.

"Mo looked good in the celebrations after the game. The day before and yesterday he was running outside and will be part of training today."
