Jurgen Klopp Hails Trent Alexander-Arnold 'Genius Moment' After Liverpool Win

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp hailed Trent Alexander-Arnold's "genius moment" after his quick-thinking assist in the Reds' sensational comeback against Barcelona in their UEFA Champions League semi-final on Tuesday.

Alexander-Arnold picked out Divock Origi with a quickly taken corner for the Belgian to make it 4-0 at Anfield as Liverpool overturned a 3-0 deficit from the Camp Nou.

Per Chris Shaw for the Reds' official website, Klopp said in his post-match press conference:

"We all know you need luck in this situation, or a genius moment like Trent Alexander-Arnold. I saw the ball flying into the net and I had no idea who took the corner and who scored because it was too quick for me.
