SOUNDBITE: (English) Brendan Rodgers, Liverpool manager
"Over the course of the games we weren't good enough, didn't collect enough points and ultimately went out. It's been a real good learning experience for us and we're going to fight as hard as we can to ensure it's not another five years (until we're in the Champions League)."

"The penalties were close, maybe the right calls. I thought the sending off was a really, really disappointing decision by the referee. I'm not sure he's close enough to make (the decision). I think everyone looking at it will see young Lazar Markovic gets sent off for that, his fingernail barely touched the nose of the defender. I think the defender is the guy who should be looked at and sent off for his reaction."

"They are a good side and experienced at this level. They are the top side in Swiss football and regularly qualify for the Champions League and have experience in it. They are a good side, good players, some experienced layers and as I said over the course of the games they've deserved to go through."
