Klopp calls Diogo Jota a world-class player

Diogo Jota scored two signature goals to help book Liverpool’s place at Wembley.

What did Klopp say about Jota?

Klopp named the Portuguese world class after the striker’s stellar display in the Reds’ Carabao Cup semi-final over Arsenal. The Reds advanced to a record 13th League Cup final after beating Arsenal 2-0 in the second leg of their last four at Emirates Stadium on Thursday night, with Diogo opening the scoring early in the first half and then recalculating a sublime second later in the second. Jurgen was full of praise for the Portuguese after the final whistle and feels he has taken his game to the next level since his arrival from Wolves in September 2020.

Jurgen Klopp said they scored two great goals, Jota on fire. According to Klopp, they were completely convinced that when Diogo Jota came to the club, he would help them massively. Since Diogo is here, he has gone one step further, he has become a truly world-class striker. The Reds boss added on how well his team performed on the night that the mood in the dressing room was over the moon. Tough game, tough time, but the boys were exceptional. Arsenal started the first half with a lively start, then they calmed him down, played good football and created enough. The second half is similar.

A little about Diogo Jota

Diogo’s screed against Arsenal means he is now the Reds’ top scorer in games at Emirates Stadium with four goals to his name. The Portuguese footballer also took his tally for the 2021-22 campaign to 14 out of 27 appearances in all competitions, with his latest performances helping the Reds cope in the absence of star duo Mane and Salah while they find themselves at Afcon. Diogo will likely lead the line again for the Reds when Jurgen’s side host Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday as they resume their premier league title camp.
