"Oustanding!"
That is what a delighted Jurgen Klopp was seen mouthing at his Liverpool players from the dugout on Wednesday night as they beat RB Leipzig to book their place in the Champions League quarter-final.
Liverpool have been in shocking form by their usual high standards this season, and are currently seven points outside of the top four places in the Premier League.
This Wednesday provided the Reds with a break from domestic football; a much-needed change of pace... and Liverpool made it count.
The first half against the Bundesliga club was rather tentative from a Liverpool point of view, with Diogo Jota among the Reds stars to miss a clear-cut opportunity to score.
But Liverpool turned on the class in the second half and netted twice, with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane getting on the scoresheet.
BT Sport cameras captured Klopp standing in his dugout towards the end of the match smiling in delight at the performance.
The Reds boss was then seen to mouth something, which he confirmed was the word "outstanding".
Klopp told BT Sport: "The boys were outstanding tonight. We had to switch off the Premier League stuff and give this one a proper try. The boys really enjoyed themselves tonight."
