'It's absolutely great' - Jürgen Klopp reacts to Reds reaching UCL semi-finals

Jürgen Klopp declared himself 'really, really happy' after his Liverpool side reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.

The Reds set up a last-four meeting with Villarreal by clinching a 6-4 aggregate victory in their quarter-final tie against Benfica.

Wednesday's second-leg duel at Anfield finished 3-3 as Ibrahima Konate and Roberto Firmino (two) were on the scoresheet for the hosts.

Konate opened the scoring with a powerful header from a corner after 21 minutes, though Goncalo Ramos equalised for the Lisbon outfit shortly after.

Firmino then netted twice in the second half to give Klopp’s men a 3-1 lead, but finishes from Roman Yaremchuk and Darwin Nunez made it even on the night.
