Jurgen Klopp has said that Liverpool can take one positive from their goalless draw against Bayern Munich.
He hailed his side to have dished out a good defensive display even without Virgil Van Dijk.
Speaking to the media after the match, the German gaffer said, “We made life more difficult with the last pass today – about 10 or 12 times a promising situation [fizzled out]. We can play better. We should play better. In the first half we had the bigger chances. I can’t remember any chances for either side in the second half. It wasn’t a Champions League night from that point of view. From a result point of view, it’s OK. It’s not a dream result but it’s a good one.”
He added, “It was a clean sheet without the big man [Virgil van Dijk]. A lot of people wouldn’t have expected that. The defending was good. A lot of things were really good. I’m not over the moon but I’m completely OK with the game. If Bayern had been full of confidence we might have had more space. Both centre-half pairings had a lot of ball and played around. Not a lot of things happened. We had our moments and in those moments you have to score. It was an intense game for both sides. It is not a game we will remember in 30 years. It’s the result we have and we will work with that.”
