-
SOUNDBITE (English): Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool Manager:
"The result is the most important thing and I never expected the perfect performance, I expected only that we be a real challenger and we were a real challenger and now we are 3-0 up and it is better than being 3-0 down, 100 percent, but it is not the decision, everybody knows that as well. You go to Manchester City and they want to strike back, they didn't play bad tonight, they only didn't create the usual number of chances they usually do. Because we defended in a lot of moments outstandingly good, Trent (Alexander-Arnold) had a fantastic game, (Andrew) Robertson on the other side and both centre halves, both really spot on and all 3 midfielders absolutely brilliant. Our three offensive guys were in the right spaces and supported them. That's the only way to get anything against Man City, we did it and because of our quality it is 3-0 instead of 1-0 or whatever, yeah but it is half time, not more".
SOUNDBITE (English): Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool Manager:
"I don't think it makes it more likely that we go through if I feel already that we are through. I don't feel it, I think we have to work and I have no problem with that, so thats all. You have to celebrate the party when the party starts not 4 weeks before. That's it, and I cannot ignore that we have to play in between another game, what will happen, how can I sit here tonight happy to see things I didn't want to happen and I think really the place where people are more happy about the result than here is at Goodison - the Everton fans think - Yes! Nice and intense and now come here. That's the thing, we have to fight there and then we have to fight again, that is our life but it will not be easy".SOUNDBITE (English): Pep Guardiola, Manchester City Manager:
"We show up in the beginning of the game and we were there. Our first minutes, because it's always important to see how is the team - if they arrived here a bit scared or something like that. But we arrived with a huge personality except 10-15 minutes in the first half and we lost a little bit of control and Robertson arrived and Arnold-Alexander arrived. In my point of view we did it really well, but the problem of course is that Champions League is two times (chances for City) arrive, the second one arrive, two times arrive to score goals. Here in Anfield is always complicated. Until the 2-0 we were there but we had a mistake in the first goal because we have to finish in this kind of situation. And after we didn't defend quite well in the box. And the second time they arrived they scored a fantastic goal from (Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain) Chamberlain so always it's tough but the second half we react and we did it well. We did not create clear chances because they defend deep but we were there for the last pass, the last control. We needed one goal but we could not score it. And of course I think in this room there is nobody except the guys who are talking to you who believes we are going to go through. Tomorrow we are going to try to convince ourselves in this way to try it is six days to try to do our game. It is 90 minutes more and we are going to try".
