In particular, Liverpool did not even shoot for 45 minutes in the first half of the day. Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp also said firmly that he could not make excuses for defeat, saying, “We got results that matched our performance.
Robertson said in an interview with the reporters after the game, “We didn’t have a good game from the start.” He said, “I got the ball easily and made the game overly quiet. It took a while to show us what we are. We can’t do this on a stage like this against a team like this. We can’t do anything with them in the first half. I was easily conceded one after another, and the score quickly reached 0-2,” he explained.

“Mo (Sala) scored and showed willingness to pursue, but we didn’t even get close to them in the last 10-15 minutes of the game,” Robertson said. It’s very easy to do that with players with the same experience. We couldn’t even get close to the ball and we couldn’t create a chance to score.”
Meanwhile, Liverpool will compete in the second leg of the quarterfinals against Real at the home stadium Anfield on the 15th. Liverpool must win by at least three goals to advance to the quarterfinals if they win 2-0.
