Jürgen Klopp

In games like this, set-pieces are always decisive.

We knew that, we set it a lot before the game in half-time again.

The first goal was brilliant, because it wasn't just quick in mind, using the situation.

I think Mo shot the free-kick and then it's the guy in the box, so it's difficult to mark him then.

So that was cool, the little passes between Milly and Fabinho on the right side, or Sadio and Fabinho, it was good.

Second goal as well, brilliant, and we didn't give them much away.

They had chances, of course, because it's a coincidence a bit.

The ball bounced this direction, that direction, and for their style of play they didn't have a lot.

It's difficult to play, everybody wants to press these times, everybody wants to be compact, and they shoot the ball from one side to the other, so it's quite difficult, and they're good in that.

So I thought we did well.

We deserved to win and we were the better side.

That's all cool.

But that the boys showed again that we are ready for these different games, that makes me really happy tonight.

Look, the last 15 minutes was clear.

We gave the game away.

It was like you could see body language, Virgil a little bit, didn't show up anymore.

The two sixes,

wanted the ball but standing in the situation, giving the ball, you're not free, then you don't want it, we stopped playing football.

So you control a game like this in possession, that's what you do, and we did that very long, but the last 15 minutes not, and second half we started again with that, so we play around, it's not the most exciting game anymore, of course not, but you have to keep the ball.

Football is always preparing trigger moments, that's defensively for pressing and offensively for the moment when you go in behind, you cannot shoot each ball in behind, but you need the offers, you need the options, and we had that in a few moments, we did that pretty well, it's then for us allowed as well that we go for second balls,
