Jurgen Klopp felt Liverpool's ever-increasing Champions League experience was vital in their 6-1 aggregate quarter-final win over Porto, and dubbed his side "special" after they secured a semi-final place for the second consecutive season.
The Reds are the only side among the 2017-18 semi-finalists to return to the last four this season and they progressed in some style as Porto were brushed aside 4-1 in the second leg at Estadio do Dragao.
Sadio Mane's second goal in as many games opened the scoring and there were further strikes from Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Virgil van Dijk as Liverpool absorbed plenty of Porto pressure while being ruthless in attack.
