The Egyptian became the first player ever to claim the prize three times in a single season when he was confirmed as the winner for March earlier today.
But Klopp insists that comes as no surprise for a man who has so often been involved in decisive moments for the Reds across the 2017-18 campaign thus far.
"It's deserved, it's not that you think: 'Wow, how did that happen?'" he told Liverpoolfc.com.
"He is an outstanding player and we played a really good season but he is in all the decisions - in decisive moments, he is involved.
"Either he makes a cross or he scores the goal or whatever, he is really very often involved. He gives us all a good feeling, so everybody is really happy for him.
"I don't think that he has always overperformed but when he is on the pitch he is always a goal threat, and that helps us a lot for sure."
