Divock Origi has had a champion week. First he scored the late winner at Newcastle then he followed it up with a brace in Liverpool’s 4-0 comeback win over Barcelona.

And now his boss Jurgen Klopp has hailed the player for the week he has had.

“Showing up the way he did, it has been ‘Divock Origi week’,” he told UK newspapers.

“There was the header at Newcastle, that was crazy. And we don’t have to talk about the other night [against Barcelona].

“What Trent Alexander-Arnold did [with his quick corner] was one of the most genius moments I will ever see in football as long as I am alive, but that was not an easy ball. It was bouncing and nine times out of 10, the ball would end up in the stand. This one ended up in the net. It shows what confidence can do and how important it was in this moment as Divock didn’t think about it. That is brilliant.

“When you think about how much he was not playing, maybe you think that I don’t like the player that much or I don’t trust him too much. That is actually not right.

“Divock was just so unlucky and I’m very happy that he is really back on the landscape again.”
