The inclusion of Divock Origi in the Liverpool starting lineup for their trip to Dortmund raised a few eyebrows, but in the BT Sport studios the verdict was that Klopp chose the Belgian in the hopes of getting in behind the opposition back four.
They will have been feeling quite smug after that exact thing resulted in Liverpool's opening goal.
A wonderful flick-on from James Milner put Origi through, and even Michael Owen's annoying commentary wouldn't have ruined that moment for Liverpool fans.
I was shouting CHIP HIM! CHIP HIM! CHIP HIM!
No you weren't Michael, you were silent.
We also saw just how much that goal meant to Jurgen Klopp, as he went full gorilla in his celebration.
Big goal in the tie.
