Salah came off the bench to score the fastest hat-trick in Champions League history as Liverpool thrashed Rangers 7-1 on Wednesday to put one foot in the Champions League last 16.
The Egyptian's treble arrived in just six minutes to beat the previous record held by Bafetimbi Gomis in Lyon's 7-1 win over Dinamo Zagreb in 2011.
“I thought everybody who started tonight played really well,” he added.
“I cannot think of one player who didn’t have a good game; the two kids of the right and left wing, really good, Fabio and Harvey,” said Klopp.
