Mohamed Salah scored the fastest hat-trick ever in the Champions League yesterday (Wednesday), when Liverpool defeated Rangers 1:7.
Rangers took the lead through a Scott Arfield goal, but the brilliant Roberto Firmino equalized and Liverpool took control of the game after half-time, scoring six unanswered goals - including three in six minutes from substitute Salah.
Jurgen Klopp said: "It definitely changed the mood. It's completely different. We usually have a beer after away games but it's been a long time since I've had a beer. I'd probably be drunk after one. Yes, it totally changed the mood but we know the Who we meet on Sunday and it will be a different game, but it's better to go into it with this feeling that we have tonight than in any other game."
The final coach said about Mohamed Salah: "Typical. Very important. I thought everyone who started tonight played really well, I can't think of a single player who didn't have a good game."

Super Salah - the statistics
Salah has scored 38 Champions League goals for Liverpool, now the most of any player at an English club, surpassing Didier Drogba for Chelsea and Sergio Aguero for Manchester City (both 36).
With just six minutes and 12 seconds between his first and third goals, Salah scored the fastest ever hat-trick in the Champions League.
Liverpool have won nine of their 10 Champions League group stage games since the start of last season, including each of their last three.
Rangers conceded seven goals in a single game in European competition for the first time.
Only Arling Holland (23) has more involvement in goals in all competitions this season than Firmino (12 - 8 goals, 4 assists).
