Madrid at Anfield, the club’s stronghold, the German
coach Juergen Klopp commented on the big fall of the
Reds.
Al-Rokhi Blancos repeated the victory over the Reds 3-2,
after Atletico Madrid won the first leg without a reply
against Liverpool.
Klopp said: “We played a big game in 95 minutes, but
we made mistakes, and we received goals in the extra
stages. We dominated and played against an excellent
team, and of course we tried to reach the goal and score
goals, and we know that we found difficulties in that.”
“I confess that we have received goals that we should not
have received in such a match, we made serious
mistakes, we should not have done them,” the German
coach added.
He continued: “Things changed in the extra stages, we
tried to go back and made some changes in order to add
vitality to the middle of the field, and we played strongly
from the wings, and we played both sides excellent, and
there was a great focus, we tried to play cross balls,
which gave us our first goal, which was excellent “.
Klopp concluded his remarks, saying: “The performance
we did during the match was excellent, but unfortunately
the result was disappointing.”
