Jurgen Klopp Says Surprise Liverpool Player Is Club's 'Best Shooter'

Jurgen Klopp Says Surprise Liverpool Player Is Club's 'Best Shooter'

An interesting call...

Liverpool's attacking options are nothing short of sublime but you'd be surprised to hear that none of Mo Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane are the club's 'best shooter' according to manager Jurgen Klopp.

The trio have scored 29 goals between them on route to the Champions League final against Real Madrid in Kiev, notching all types of goals and blowing away pretty much every time they've come up against.

Yet as per Klopp, second choice left-back Alberto Moreno is the player with the best shooting ability.

"An outstanding football player," Klopp said in an interview with the official Liverpool YouTube channel when he was asked to describe every member of his squad.


"I think everybody in the team would say Alberto could play as a No.10, could play the offensive wing, could play the right wing, the left wing.

"He is the best shooter in the squad, unfortunately nobody knows that because it didn't happen in the games."

It's a very bizarre call from Klopp, but then again he is the one who sees it all in training and is probably in a better place to comment.

Moreno will almost definitely be on the bench for the showdown in Kiev, with in-form Andy Robertson nailed on to start.

However, the Spaniard is still very much looking forward to the big game.

"In a final nobody is a favourite, both teams are there because we deserve to be over the course of the season, but it's a Champions League final and anything can happen," he told MARCA.

"Real Madrid are one of the best teams in the world, but Liverpool have enjoyed an incredible season in which we've broken all sorts of records.

"We have Salah who is amazing and Firmino and Mane. I think we have a very competitive team and the final will be very beautiful."
