Jurgen Klopp: 'It was a deserved defeat in a difficult game'

The boss accepts that some players were not totally ready for such a challenging game.

"It was not a good game," Jurgen Klopp told BT Sport after the Atalanta defeat.

"Both teams didn’t create a lot until they scored the goals. We saw it coming a little bit but we couldn’t stop it... It was a deserved defeat in a difficult game. For some players who didn’t play for a while, you could see it was very intense for them... We had moments but not real chances, so it was a deserved defeat.

"The boys are completely disappointed and frustrated but we don’t have time for that. We just have to get fresh legs as quickly as possible and go again."

The most damning stat of the night is that the Reds did not make a single shot on target in 90 minutes. They are still top of the table in Group E but will need to win both of their remaining games to guarantee the first spot.
