Jurgen Klopp was satisfied but realistic. Liverpool's 4-0 friendly victory over Barcelona at Wembley pleased the German, but there was a clear awareness that defeating the Catalan giants in August is a different matter than beating them in May. Klopp aspires to trouncing Europe's top sides at the business end of the season.
"I don't want to overestimate this game, but it's still good for us," the 49-year-old said. "We didn't think before the game [that] we are on a level with Barca, and we don't think after the game that we are on a higher level than Barca. But the only job to do today was to play football as good as possible, and we did it."
Klopp was right to be encouraged. Although the La Liga champions are a week behind in their preparations for the new season and strolled through a warm Wembley evening, Liverpool gave glimpses of a coherence that they were unable to sustain last season. The new additions to the squad appeared to improve the team, and the movement and dynamism up front hinted that Daniel Sturridge might be less important to success at Anfield than expected.
With Roberto Firmino occupying a central role, Philippe Coutinho wide on the left and Sadio Mane, Adam Lallana and Georginio Wijnaldum surging from deeper positions, Klopp's side offered a dizzying range of attacking options. Mane, in particular, impressed with quicksilver pace and an eye for goal. The front five worked for one another and pressed high. Although Barcelona were lethargic for long spells and gave only glimpses of the crisp passing that can destroy opponents, Klopp was satisfied that he has options going into the opening game of the Premier League season against Arsenal at the Emirates.
"I don't know the team for Arsenal," he said. "But why should I? A lot can happen. I am happy with the squad.
