He was Chelsea boss when Steven Gerrard's infamous slip against the Blues led to Manchester City beating Liverpool to a first Premier League title. Mourinho doesn't throw praise about too willingly either, but, perhaps surprisingly, he did exactly this last season when talking about Liverpool. And the catalyst for the Portuguese seemingly having a change of heart; the man responsible for him heaping praise on Liverpool, was Jurgen Klopp. The German won the Champions League with the Reds last season, but victory in the final wasn't his side's best performance nor result. This season Mourinho is back in work as Tottenham boss, but it seems his admiration for Klopp's Liverpool has not wavered.
