This after beating the Blues on penalties and beating FA as well. The Cup final two years ago. Diaz opened the scoring for the visitors after 11 minutes when his shot went past Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno. The Colombian international put in a terrific performance throughout the match and was named man of the match.In his post-match press conference, Klopp joked that Diaz could have scored more than one goal.
And the Anfield manager also praised the performance of Darwin Nunes in the final third, although he is not normally a threat. Klopp said Diaz’s performance was “very good”. “He’s a fantastic player. No criticism, but it would have been nice to have put the second and scored the third because it was a fantastic footballing situation, similar to what he scored in first half. “But when it comes to the game, he’s such a big kid! The speed, the power, the technique, the combination of everything… it’s amazing. I’m so happy.” To be honest, I also really enjoyed Darwin’s show today. He may have had no part in that ending, but defending him is a nightmare. He was all over the place, catching balls and stuff.“People bring it to us and we can use it sometimes. It was just a good game, a good cup game. Anyone who expects us to put on a good show tonight and win and take it a walk in the park doesn’t understand the importance of the game and the story. Both teams wanted to go to Wembley and we qualified. “That’s all we can ask for.”
