Liverpool midfielder, James Milner believes his team did enough to beat Real Madrid on Wednesday.
A Champions League quarter-final second leg ended level to send the Reds out of Europe.
The aggregate scored was 3-1 off of the defeat in the first leg. Liverpool were overall much better in the second meeting, creating plenty of chances but falling short in the final third.
“I thought the performance was good, the intensity and desire was good,” Milner told BT Sport.
“We won the ball back well, pressed really well. But you can’t not take the chances we had tonight. We had more than enough chances to do what we needed to do and we didn’t take them, unfortunately.
“The positives are that we are creating them, especially against a team like this after the first leg, and we have done enough to go through. I believe that with the chances we had.
“We were obviously the better team. Alisson has made a good save as well [from Vinicius Junior], which you expect. But we did enough to win the game.
“You only need that first one – that first one changes the game. But, if you don’t take your chances, then you’re not going to go through.
“It’s a disappointing way to end, because if we had played that first leg with the same intensity it could have been a different story.
“You can say we’ve left ourselves with too much to do because we haven’t done it, but we have done enough if we take our chances. Ultimately, we weren’t good enough over the two games.”
