Unfortunately, the one game we are playing tomorrow was probably the worst game we had in the sense of playing the big games, we lost there 3-0. Of course, there were referee decisions involved in that loss that made it harder for us, but they were much better in the first half than us. I think, and I’ve said this many times, why we have shown many times that we are a good team in big games, but also in other games, is that we have very good players and we can play very good football.
It’s been very hard for us and a struggle for us to play the amount of games, so every time after a good game, even this City game [in November] we played three days after we played Real Madrid, and that has been our biggest problem this season: struggling playing, after a good result or a bad result, so many games. That has been the biggest issue for this team and not the games themselves because we have shown that we have quality players and we are a very good team. But the amount of games have been our biggest issue.
That’s why I just said it’s interesting for us to see now where we are after seven or eight or nine months. We’ve played much better against them at home. At Anfield, I don’t think we deserved to lose, especially not after our second-half performance. Unfortunately, there was a big referee decision in that game as well, with the red card [not given] on Mo Salah, that didn’t go in our favor. But now we have to show that if there’s progress, we can also show that in an away game because it’s usually tougher to play away from home than at Anfield.
