You don't need me to tell you the wonderful memories Liverpool has created over the years in the Champions League, but now our goal is to create some more wonderful memories in the next few weeks and months, which is undoubtedly an exciting prospect. The draw at the league stage has created some great games, which include a battle with top teams, playing on amazing courts and facing the most enthusiastic fans. How can you not be excited about it as a player ? "

" Of course, we know it's not easy, we just need to look at the opponents tonight to understand this. Atletico Madrid has been one of the best and most stable teams for many years. They have top-notch coaches, top-notch players, we need to be prepared and put in a great deal to achieve positive results. We also need the most powerful support of you (the fans), your support has played a key role in many important Champions League games before, and I hope it will be the same tonight. Let's turn Anfield into a place where no team in Europe wants to visit. "

We won all four games in the Premier League, but in each game we showed a lot of resilience, patience and belief, which was particularly evident in the last Sunday against Burnley. For the fourth straight game, we all won at the last moment. For the fourth straight game, we showed the mentality we needed to enjoy a successful season again."

"You can't always play the best football, but you can keep working hard, keep fighting, Work hard and motivate each other. I think our body language is excellent against Burnley away. We never felt frustrated, never lost our faith, and we ended up winning a deserved victory and getting a valuable three-pointer. "

" Such a victory shows the character of this team. Obviously, no one wants to find a way to win in the last 10 minutes, but it's about repeating the right pattern, staying focused and finding a way. This team has done a very good job so far this season, which should not be underestimated. "
