Klopp: Fitting Liverpool advance to CL final on 'unbelievable' aggregate result

The Reds progress to the Champions League final was typically not straightforward but their manager believes they deserve huge credit

Liverpool came through a wild night in Rome to give manager Jurgen Klopp another shot at glory in the Champions League final.

Radja Nainggolan's late brace gave Roma a 4-2 win on Wednesday at the Stadio Olimpico but Liverpool prevailed 7-6 on aggregate at the end of a remarkable semi-final tie.

Nainggolan's earlier mistake allowed Sadio Mane to open the scoring and a 25th-minute header from Georginio Wijnaldum meant equalisers courtesy of James Milner's unfortunate own goal and Roma striker Edin Dzeko did not look like turning the tie around.
