Although, the reds qualified to the next round of the UEFA champions league Quarter finals after a 2-0 success at the San Siro in the first leg last month
Speaking to BT Sport after the match, Klopp admitted that he expected his team to face a few difficulties against the Nerazzurri. He said (as quoted by the Mirror):
“The difficulties we had were pretty close to what I expected. Inter are a really, really good side, set up for these kind of games.
“It was a really interesting game. In the end we lost the game, which obviously is not cool; we didn’t come here to lose a home game.”
Klopp added:
“The opponent caused us problems, but if we had used our chances we win this game.
“We lost a lot of simple balls, which can happen, and when the ball was in the air, it was like slapstick with the wind.
“The counter-press was not really there. We were around challenges but not in challenges, and we didn’t get the momentum; that’s what we were lacking.”
