Jurgen Klopp has admitted that Liverpool face an uphill task to qualify for the Champions League last eight, after their 5-2 defeat to Real Madrid on Tuesday.

Real Madrid came from two goals down to win the tie 5-2, and it seems almost impossible for Liverpool turn around the tie at the Bernabeu.

Jurgen Klopp even believes the tie is over, and he thinks that Carlo Ancelotti sees it the same way.

Speaking to the Liverpool website after the game, Klopp said: “I think Carlo thinks the tie is over – and I think it as well in the moment, but in three weeks… it’s how it is in these moments, the closer you get to the game the bigger our chances become and the less likely it is the tie is over.

“Tonight, with the 5-2 and you see the game, they are pretty good in counter-attacking and we have to score three goals there and take some risk, so that could be a bit tricky.

“It is really not even in my mind. We go there, I can say it now already, and try to win the game. If that is possible or not, I don’t know now but that’s what we will try and from there we will see.”
