said: "Liverpool really were not at their peak today, not close at all, but Sadio Mane's winning goal was great. There was talk of other players in the front three, they said they would get a rest, but "Not that man. It reminds me that Mana scored a critical goal here a few seasons ago and Liverpool won the championship afterwards. It makes you wonder if something similar could happen to her this season."

Krager added: "I love him, I really love him. Not only because he is a great footballer and has done so much for Liverpool. He initially played on the right wing, then moved to the left when Muhammad Salah arrived. Luis Diaz comes from the left and Mana suddenly becomes a striker. He is always a striker. "Move for someone else, but his ability never fades. It doesn't matter where Mana plays, you get the same thing, you can not say that about the other attacking players."

Tonight's star

He said: "There was a good wide delivery from Dias, I was in the box at that moment and I just had to hit inside and even without hitting too hard. We know each other very well from training. When he gets the ball I know exactly where he's going to pass it so I wanted to be ready ".

Jordan Henderson said after the game: "The players were amazing for long minutes and the night was no different. We knew it would be a tough game and there would be tough moments, but we managed to dig deep and get three points. There were tough moments and I felt we needed to hold the ball more, but overall it was "A good performance. Mana's ability is always amazing. The work he puts in for the team in his movement without a ball, in defense and in the end he also conquers. It was an amazing extension of his."

Celebrating, and apprehensive.

Jürgen Klopp also praised Sadio Mane at the end, saying "he is incredible, and always scores important goals", but also referred to the glittering signing of Manchester City who announced a deal for the acquisition of Arling Holland.

With him, Klopp knows, Liverpool's task against its main rival will be much more difficult.

"Unfortunately, Arling is a monster. He's going to make them a lot better, I'm convinced of that. He's going to score a lot of goals, that's for sure," he said.

Klopp also explains that "Arling is a great player, but City will never be a one-player team. They will never win or lose because of a single player, that's his strength and power."

On the other hand, Jamie Redknapp claims that "this signing will not make a big difference for City for a simple reason - it is already a top team. Arling is going to be a real star in the Premier League, he will score a lot of goals and enjoy the excellent players around him, but his arrival does not guarantee City All the degrees. "

Redknapp is pleased with the arrival of the Netherlands, especially for the league.

"Finally, the top player in the world comes to England at the height of his career. We did not get to see Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the Premier League at their peak, and that is a very big thing for the league."
