Trent Alexander-Arnold says that Jurgen Klopp has been "a massive influence" this season, describing the Liverpool boss as a 'father-like figure'.

Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has described manager Jurgen Klopp as a 'father-like figure' who is perfect at getting everything out of his players.

The Reds are marching towards the final of the Champions League following a 5-2 first-leg win over Roma in the semis and are still in the hunt to finish second in the Premier League.

After shining down the flank in Liverpool's attacking system, Alexander-Arnold has reserved praise for Klopp and thanked his boss for showing a little patience in younger players.

"He's a massive influence. You hear a lot of players saying a manager is like a father figure, and I think that's definitely the case with the manager here," he told Sky Sports News. "He's really encouraging for young players...

"He understands the game unbelievably well; knows that mistakes will happen. But he knows it's how you react to them, and how you keep on going, how to play with the team's identity, no matter what the scoreline is, that we have to believe in our ability.

"The way we want to play is high-pressing, win the ball back as high as possible and play football, and that's obviously what we try to do, and he instils that no matter what the score is."

Liverpool are back in action on Saturday lunchtime with a home match against Premier League strugglers Stoke City.
