'It was a big relief' - The decisive victory
"The final step."
That is how Klopp describes the goal that broke Middlesbrough's resistance and effectively ensured a season's worth of hard work would bring the reward it deserved.
Yet, with 44 minutes on the clock, Anfield growing increasingly nervous, and the visitors more than playing their part in a goalless game, doubt reared its head once more.
In the end, all it took was a swift one-two and a flash of Gini Wijnaldum's right boot to change everything.
Klopp's passionate reaction on the touchline said everything about the importance of the strike - to him, to the players, to the fans.
He explains: "I can't 100 per cent say exactly what I felt in this moment because if I could judge how I celebrated then it would be completely different.
"I saw the game back again and I saw my celebration obviously and I would say it was a big relief.
"Over the season - I know we have red-tinted glasses, but we leave them away - there was not a lot of luck, that's how it was.
"You really want [to be able] to go through this and get something at the end of the season. And that's what we did, actually.
"We spoke about the things we couldn't have influence on but there are, of course, a few things we could have influence on.
"[The goal] was the moment when you see that's the final step we had to do this season, to open this game, because it was clear then with the qualities of the boys that it would be done. It was a big moment."
