Saúl told The Guardian in the run-up to the match, "We know how we can hurt Liverpool." Apparently Saúl scoring in the 4' was how. Immediately thereafter Madrid went into a delaying, defensive shell and made the goal hold up. Livers had 73% possession and no shots on goal. That is amazing. I like the attitude of Klopp and Andy Robertson after the match however. Said Klopp of the return match:
"Welcome to Anfield. It is not over yet.”
Robertson:
“They celebrated as if they won the tie after the game. They are coming to Anfield and we know our fans will be there.”
Saúl, if you can hurt Liverpool in Liverpool you will truly be a savant.
Livers are going to annihilate them.
