Statements from a Klopp, who has renewed with Liverpool until 2026.
It is a semifinal and it should be difficult. We never expected it to be easy. We played a good game at home and now we need to do it away as well. You never know if we will have another chance in a semifinal. We arrived well to the tie but we know that if we start off on the wrong foot tomorrow (Tuesday) everything can get complicated. We do not have to think about the past, we must be prepared to suffer and be attentive in every play. We have to go out to press and know how to suffer. If we have won all the away games in the Champions League it is because we have done well at the home of Atlético Madrid, Porto or Inter Milan. We didn't win by being defensive and counterattacking. We have always played being ourselves and that is what we have to do again.

We are having good matches at home, good referees and good tuning with our people to give our best version. It's complicated to overcome a two-nil deficit. We benefit from the change in the double goal rule. We are looking to respond so that situations appear in the game to be close to equalizing the score. The field factor there was key. We have to play a perfect match. We have to play a perfect game. To provoke something that nobody has provoked them. We have to find the weaknesses. We are very excited to play in the Champions League semifinals. They were better on their field, but we were able to defend well to avoid giving them more income. We're determined to play our game and look for our chances. They have few defeats and are usually better than the rest. We want to live this moment with our people. We are playing with our people and we have to win. We have to defend brutally. Different from Liverpool and be able to find our game.
