We’ll see in the final, whoever wins it will be the best team in Europe. But our journey has been incredible anyway.

And the second gave us great encouragement. “We knew that the efforts made in the first half were going to penalize us later, but we had players ready to come on the bench. But the relapse of Gerard’s injury (Moreno) heavily affected the whole team, mentally.” explained Unai Emery.
09:40 – Klopp: “We felt the pressure”
We would have liked to play in the first half as we played in the second. We conceded a goal very early. They were on fire. You have to respect this stadium, this team, its coach. They got the start of the game they wanted. They had the momentum, were aggressive, learned from the first game. They took a lot of risks. We just sent long balloons. It was easy for us to improve after the break. We felt the pressure. We started to play well after the break. We were very good and we deserved to win. We had to break that predictability. We found options in midfield. For us, it’s a big dream. To be in the final of this competition, the biggest competition in football, is incredible” analyzed the German coach.
