Klopp hails midfield heroes for covering 'gaps as wide as the Mersey'

Jurgen Klopp felt Liverpool's midfield trio were their best players as his side got over the line in Rome to book a place in the Champions League final.

Roma triumphed 4-2 on Wednesday at the Stadio Olimpico thanks to a pair of late Radja Nainggolan goals, but Liverpool's stirring 5-2 win at Anfield last week meant a remarkable 7-6 aggregate victory for the Premier League team.

Holders Real Madrid await in a Kiev final later this month and many of the plaudits during Liverpool's incredible run have landed at the feet of lethal front three Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.
