Liverpool faced Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 at Anfield on Tuesday.
And Bayern Munich went back to Germany a very happy bunch.
The match ended in a 0-0 draw and while Niko Kovac’s team failed to get that away goal but the Bavarians will most certainly be happy with the scoreline since the second leg will be played in their own backyard.
Liverpool could have easily picked up a win in this game but Sadio Mane wasted a few golden chances to put his team in the lead and then Bayern eventually managed to hold on until 90 minutes.
Speaking after the match, Andy Robertson has revealed that the Reds have the confidence to pick up a win in the second leg and here’s what they need to do.
“We were at home so of course, we were disappointed,” the Liverpool full-back said.
“We came up against a very experienced team, a team that has been there and done it for six or seven years now.
“They knew how to frustrate us and how to frustrate the fans and they did it well but we had chances and if we had taken them on another day the result would be different.
“A clean sheet at home in the Champions League is so crucial because we know when we go over there and if we can grab one it means they have to score two.
“These are all things that come into play and if we can be a bit more clinical I think we can score over there.
“We back ourselves to win any game, whether it is home or away, which is why we are disappointed.
“Going over there is a new challenge but there’s probably a bit more pressure on them than us because they are at home and their fans will start demanding things.
“We can try to play our game, try to create the chances we need and try to get goals and if that happens then it puts us in the driving seat.”
Liverpool take on Bayern in the second leg three weeks from now but right now their focus will be on Manchester United when they travel to Old Trafford on Sunday.
