Mentor “Liverpool” Guus Hiddink after a victory over “Bavaria” in a return match 1/8 finals of the Champions League noted that this result will be pleased not only fans of English teams, but the fans of Borussia Dortmund.
– We showed a very Mature game in the second half, – quotes the official site of UEFA Klopp. – Before the break we had to play more football.
In those moments when we played football, we immediately destroyed the structure of the game Bayern. But this result is absolutely deserved.
Before in away matches in the Champions League we defended like we normally do. And today we did.
In this match there will always be errors, but you have to stay in the game and try to control it in those moments when you can do it.
We will accept any outcome of the draw. Guys love this tournament, they really really put everything in such moments. Their attitude to the game was just outstanding. A trio of forwards perfectly proved themselves, they very much helped the team.
I didn’t want to just defeat Bayern. I wanted to win with Liverpool. I am sure that after this match there will be many happy fans from Dortmund, and if I was able to help them, that’s great, too. Today, we have documented that Liverpool returned to the top level of European football.
