Liverpool's Champions League revival has earned the approval of Reds legends, says Jurgen Klopp

“Kenny Dalglish is over the moon and completely on fire," says Reds boss Klopp

Jurgen Klopp has revealed how Liverpool's Champions League revival has earned the approval of the club's European legends.

The Reds will face Roma in the semi-finals later this month having reached the last four for the first time in a decade.

Liverpool are aiming for a place in the final in Kiev on May 26 and the opportunity to win their sixth European Cup.

After the dramatic quarter-final win at Manchester City in midweek, Klopp was spotted laughing and waving towards the main stand at the Etihad, where the camera cut to Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush celebrating.

And Klopp said: “Like I said before the Manchester City game, you write our own history.

“(Liverpool's history is) really too big. It’s only because you judge history when you watch back. That’s always about ‘this was easy or whatever’ but to have always the chance.

“I am really happy we are in a situation where we are focused on that group.

“If the legends we all love are around and they are clapping, it's because they like this. They like it.

“Kenny Dalglish is over the moon and completely on fire. Steven Gerrard and all the other guys in between, you can feel it and see it. That’s cool.”
