The Reds’ website is full of nice stats for the team. Since Jürgen Klopp led Liverpool for the first time in a Champions League match in September 2017, the six-time BEK / BL winner has retained his goal more times than any other team – eighteen times.
Mohamed Szalah is the most successful player in the club’s BEK / BL history with 23 goals.
Alisson became the twelfth goalkeeper in Liverpool history to score at least 50 games without scoring a goal. Only Pepe Reina (93), Ray Clemence (95) and Bruce Grobbelaar (99) needed fewer matches for this than the Brazilian, who brought at least fifty “zero” matches in 114 matches.
Jurgen Klopp, the Liverpool manager was understandably satisfied. He said at the press conference:
I am very, very satisfied. Our performance was excellent, this time accompanied by good results. We deserved a 2-0 win. It was a match in which there couldn’t be a big difference because two highly organized and well-defended teams competed with each other. I think we prove to be a better hair on these factors. I know Leipzig well and I know how capable they are of dominating the game with their overwhelming physique. We had a day less time to prepare than our opponent, but that was not reflected in the game. Yes, they made mistakes, but I think we forced them to make mistakes. In short, I am satisfied with our performance. Ozan Kabak fit in perfectly with our team after how long he played for Schalke. And yes, Hendo (Henderson – ed.) Also held his own as a midfielder. Ali (Alisson – ed.) He had to defend big two or three times, but that’s his job. I’m sure you will sleep well on the plane on the way home. We are no longer children, this good result today will not cancel out our three series losses in the Premier League. For me, it is not so much the result that matters, but that we have returned to playing football well. I can only say the best of the Puskás Arena, it reminds me a bit of the Atlético de Madrid stadium, the Wanda Metropolitano. Budapest was a great host; Thank you Budapest!
Jordan henderson, Liverpool captain:
We did half the work, but only half!
Julian Nagelsmann, Head Coach of the CDR Leipzig:
We played football very well, even super, in the second half, creating situations, but we made two mistakes that will be penalized not only at this level by the rival, but at any level. Only our situation was worse than that. We had three or four situations that we should have triggered. We need to talk more about these than about the two mistakes that led us to score. But that’s part of the game. Regardless, I say that we play well in general. In fact, tonight we were not the worst team, but sadly the result shows otherwise.
