Klopp pumped for Liverpool's 'proper football' showdown with Barca

PORTO, Portugal - Jurgen Klopp said he cannot wait to lead Liverpool into a Champions League semifinal against Barcelona after watching his side crush Porto 4-1 in Portugal on Wednesday to complete a 6-1 aggregate victory in their last-eight tie.

On a wet night at Estadio do Dragao, Liverpool weathered an early storm before scoring from its first attempt just before the half-hour, with Sadio Mane prodding home for a goal given after a lengthy VAR review.

Already in control of this tie after a 2-0 win at Anfield in the first leg, Liverpool effectively killed off Porto there and then, but Mo Salah, substitute Roberto Firmino and Virgil van Dijk added further goals after the break.
