Liverpool “are not buying superstars, they are making them”, says Jamie Carragher, with the Reds hailed for finding value in the likes of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Andy Robertson that others may have missed.
"Robertson came from Hull, Wijnaldum was relegated with Newcastle, Salah had been at Chelsea, Mane had been in the Premier League…they are not just going to the best clubs in the world and buying the best players.
"It's okay buying players but it's what you do with them. Sometimes we forget that. Once you have that player you have to improve them, and Jurgen Klopp probably doesn't get enough credit for that, the work he does as a coach.
"Liverpool are not buying superstars, they are making them."
Carragher added: "They look so comfortable in games, with a 1-0 lead they back themselves.
"When Klopp came in it was end-to-end and exciting, they were an exciting team to watch, but now they are the best team to watch. They always do enough in games and in the big games they are at their best.
"We knew he was a top manager but I didn't think this development of the team over several years was possible. To get to this stage they are the best team in the world."
