Jurgen Klopp will never have to buy a beer in Liverpool again. Though, I doubt he would have anyway. The man is a treasure.
All of the cracks in the team, and there are a bunch, were for one crazy, glorious, frustrating, heart-racing night forgotten as this team played their absolute guts out. My biggest fear now is that a letdown will set in and we won't go all the way but I have faith in Klopp that is becoming nearly fanatical.
I was watching this match at a sleepy pub in New York and the few people around were barely paying attention but as the game picked up, around the 65th minute, the place filled up and the buzz started to build. By Sakho's goal everyone was jumping up and down. By the time Milner made that cross to Lovren, the entire bar was converted. We all agreed to meet here again in a few weeks for the semi-finals. Long live football.
Also, I want to echo what has been said a lot, fair play to Dortmund. They are a truly great club, especially offensively and I will root for them against literally anyone else they play going forward. Their fans were wonderful, the atmosphere was dizzying and Anfield felt like it always should on these European nights again.
Take care all.
