Klopp went further to hail the performance of his players as he is happy with the result they got after a disappointing game in the Premier League.
“First and foremost the most important thing is the result,’ Klopp told media. “It is a massive one away at Porto. Winning, and the way we won, makes it better.
“It was good in lots of moments. We could see Porto watched our last game at Brentford. They started direct.
“I wanted to get it sorted on the pitch and that’s what we did step-by-step.
“We scored maybe not the most amazing goals but important ones in the first half. In the second-half we controlled the game.”
