# Liverpool: Fans absolutely loved this moment from Jurgen Klopp

**In the space of little more than a week, Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian has gone from being a free agent to playing a key part in the Reds’ latest European trophy win.**

The 32-year-old Spaniard saved from Chelsea’s Tammy Abraham in last night’s UEFA Super Cup penalty shoot-out triumph, his stop ensuring that Liverpool would lift the trophy for the fourth time \[[via Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/liverpool-vs-chelsea/407280)\].

When being interviewed by BT Sport in the immediate aftermath of that victory, Reds manager Jurgen Klopp enthusiastically roared out: “Adrian…like Rocky”, as noted by Liverpool’s official Twitter channel, seemingly comparing the goalkeeper to Sylvester Stallone’s eponymous character from the *Rocky* films.

In the absence of Alisson, who [went off injured in last week’s win against Norwich City](https://www.skysports.com/football/liverpool-vs-norwich/407981) and [looks set to be sidelined for a number of weeks](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/11783889/alisson-becker-jurgen-klopp-confirms-liverpool-goalkeeper-will-be-out-for-next-few-weeks), Adrian has stepped into the goalkeeping void for Liverpool after [joining just 10 days ago](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/359359-liverpool-fc-complete-signing-of-goalkeeper-adrian).

He [hasn’t managed to keep a clean sheet in either of his appearances so far](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adrian/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/71271/plus/0?saison=2019&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=), but even before the penalty shoot-out last night he made a vital contribution to his team by [pulling off four saves](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1374057/Live/Europe-UEFA-Super-Cup-2018-2019-Liverpool-Chelsea), including an excellent [one-handed stop from Mason Mount in extra time](https://www.skysports.com/football/liverpool-vs-chelsea/407280).

These Liverpool fans on Twitter hugely enjoyed Klopp’s ‘Rocky’ moment and showed their affection for the manager:
