Liverpool Thrashes Maribor To break European Record.
Jurgen Klopp hailed his Liverpool record-breakers for lifting the weight of history off their backs.
The German’s rampant side rewrote the record books with an incredible seven-goal demolition.
It was the English club’s biggest ever away win in Europe, a proud boast considering the club’s rich European past.
Klopp said: “It will give the players a lot of confidence. I was told about the record after the game and I didn’t know about it.
“The wonderful history of this club can feel like a back-pack at times, so it is nice to write our own good piece of the history. It will be difficult to beat that record.“It is quite rare to win 7-0 but it showed we did unbelievably well. Maribor were quite confident before the game for different reasons, so to win like that is really incredible.”
The Reds had given little warning of the destruction they unleashed, but two goals each from Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino set them on course for a staggering victory.
