I don't know about this. Have seen it mentioned before but I could frame it differently and say none of the other top 4 teams succeeded in beating Liverpool.
Also hate that when a result does not go in the team's favour the "team played the way Real wanted them to". Liverpool was clearly better side and Courtois bailed them out. Any other keeper and people would be praising Klopp's genius today.
How did Real wanted them to play exactly? Actually succeed in creating chances and betting on Courtois to make miraculous saves?
This pretty much.
Too glad I missed all the 'genius' takes yesterday here of the 'something special' Real did.
Courtois was the only special thing they got yesterday.
Klopp said it all in the post-match 'my team played well, I have no complaints from them' 'when the GK is the man of the match you do sth well, not your opponent'
The most simple and truthful line you could hear
