"I've seen a lot, in terms of the chances that we created, but it doesn't mean that that's going to be enough. We have to fight, we have to deserve it. We have to earn the next round. Next week is obviously the decider. The matter of fact is that we're at home."
"But we have to show that we want and deserve to go through, first and foremost, in the way we play, defend and attack, so that's the aim."
Liverpool suffered a 1-0 defeat to Galatasaray in their Champions League first-leg match, with Mario Lemina scoring in the seventh minute. The team created numerous chances but failed to convert, including a disallowed goal for Ibrahima Konate's handball and missed opportunities from Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike. Liverpool's record when conceding first this season is poor, with only two wins in 16 games. Despite Opta's supercomputer assigning them a 53% chance of reaching the quarter-finals, captain Virgil van Dijk emphasized the team must fight and deserve progression. The second leg takes place at home next week, where Liverpool will attempt to overturn the deficit.
