Klopp: "I saw the best Liverpool this season in the first half"

Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp shared his impressions of the Champions League round of 16 match against Real Madrid (2:5).

“Tonight, I think it was pretty obvious. We conceded all five goals ourselves. All five. It means we could have played better, but all the goals were quite different. At the beginning of the game, in our situation, where we are, it is very important that positive steps are visible. I think the first half was our best performance all season apart from the two goals we conceded. I really enjoyed it.

The second half was completely under the control of "Real". They didn't defend very well to be honest. You can't lose the ball against Real Madrid because of the threat of their quick counter-attacks. And that's how it worked, and that's it," Klopp was quoted as saying by Goal.
