Klopp said: “If there is anyone who must be victorious in 90 minutes, it is us, not Arsenal.”
And he added in his statements during the post-match press conference: “But we are not in the land of dreams. We must score goals to win the games.”
“I liked many things in the game, and it is not easy to choose a squad other than the one that participated,” he added.
“The players are learning and they have to keep learning, and I think they have done very well.”
“I liked what Mohamed Salah and Van Dyck did. They were at the peak of professionalism to lead this group of young players,” he added.
He noted: “It is difficult to speak of many positive things in a match in which you did not win, but in the end the loss came on penalties, and we were the ones who had the most chances in the match.”
And about the reason why Shaqiri was completely excluded from the meeting. Klopp revealed: “I don’t want to talk about this. The only thing I will say is that he is not injured and he did not do anything wrong, but at that moment (the transfer market) some things happen. We will wait and see what happens in the next few days.”
Klopp praised the presentation by Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno, He noted: “I spoke to Lino after the game and he was not happy about his saves against us in the game.”
“As a manager I would definitely have scored goals, but we had a lot of good moments in the game. We showed our quality and I’m happy with that.”
Mohamed Salah was a key player from the start, before leaving the pitch after an hour of play.
Spaniard Mikel Arteta preferred to keep Mohamed Al Nani on the substitute bench before pushing him in the 68th minute at the expense of Dani Ceballos.
Al-Nene, who participated in the 68th minute, scored the fourth penalty shoot-out for Arsenal, but Adrián blocked it.
Adrian stopped Nene’s kick, Leno responded by blocking Origi’s kick first, before blocking Harry Wilson’s kick, to successfully score Willock and qualify for Arsenal.
The match, which witnessed wholesale changes from Jurgen Klopp and Arteta, for the league match that ended 3-1 with the Reds, the preference was in favor of Liverpool, but Lino faced more than 3 chances.
