However, the captain noted:  “It’s disappointing not to win the game. We wanted to win. They’re obviously a good team and I know we can play better than we did.  We showed in patches what we can do, but I think we were maybe a yard or two off it tonight, for whatever reason. It’s a bit disappointing, but we’ve shown that character again to keep going until the end.”

In his turn Liverpool defender Kolo Toure admitted manager Klopp had delivered a few harsh words to his players: “In the first half it wasn’t there, we were not playing as a team. When we do that, we know it is difficult to beat us. The manager went at us hard in the dressing room. That changed the game – we played together and we scored a good goal.”

Toure also made it clear that Liverpool’s players had to put next Wednesday’s European final to the back of their minds: “It’s important to keep playing well, give 100 per cent. You don’t want to think about the final. If you think about it too much, you don’t perform.”

Liverpool are through to the Europa League final. Jurgen Klopp’s men defeated Villarreal 3 – 0 at Anfield to knockout the Spanish side 3 – 1 on aggregates.
