Roy Keane makes major Jurgen Klopp claim after noticing what he did when Liverpool won FA Cup against Chelsea

Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane heaped praise on Liverpool and manager Jurgen Klopp after their FA Cup win, hailing the special squad built at Anfield.

The Reds won a tense penalty shoot-out at Wembley Stadium on Saturday afternoon, Kostas Tsimikas scoring the winning penalty in sudden death after Sadio Mane's was saved by Eduard Mendy during the initial five. Mason Mount's was saved by Alisson to allow the Greek left back to find the back of the net.

The win secured the club's second trophy of the season after beating the west London outfit in the Carabao Cup earlier this year. With the UEFA Champions League final still to play and the Premier League not out of reach with two games left to play, the quadruple is still on for Jurgen Klopp's side.

Keane, speaking to ITV Sport, noted how special this side is and still can be, especially with the German coach at the helm.

"You look at Klopp’s reaction at the end. The passion he has for football and the club. They’ve got some brilliant players, but it all starts with Klopp. What he’s done for that club. The feel good factor they’ve got. It’s all set up for a special season, no doubt about it.

"Huge personality. Great manager. He’s got a great squad, they’ve got spirit, they’ve got quality. A lot of good pros there, a lot of personalities. But he’s the biggest one at the club. He’s absolutely brilliant."
