'We were just battered'

Yahoo Sports

[BBC] I've just got back to the hotel room in Paris after PSG beat Liverpool 2-0 in the Champions League and it's a strange feeling because it's demoralising to see the way Liverpool played tonight, the way we set out and the fact that you know it felt like we didn't really stand a chance in the game. Also at the same time I was expecting it and I was probably expecting worse than a two-goal deficit. If PSG would have actually put their big big chances away then that game could have been and probably should have been three, four or maybe even five nil.

Luckily on the night Liverpool set up to try and survive the first 90 minutes to try and take something back to Anfield - some form of positivity to just basically to go back to Anfield and try and hope that the tie is still somewhat alive. I don't know how we've got here and I don't feel positive going into the home leg but Anfield is Anfield and magical things can happen. You know if we get behind the team we can certainly try and create an atmosphere which hopefully can give encouragement to the players but somehow we're still in this tie in terms of the scoreboard and somehow not out of sight which it felt like it should have been tonight because it felt like absolute torture being in that away end.

We were set up not to do anything in the game, but to try and survive. Mamardashvili really makes some big saves. Joe Gomez is probably one of the better players.

But PSG just come away with only two goals. And I say only two as if Liverpool will overturn that - I don't think they will. I hope that with Anfield and if we all come together, maybe something, just something can happen next Tuesday night.

But yes, a game where we were just battered, they are just so much better than us and we're going to have to hope for an incredibly special night on Tuesday if we want to get past this PSG side. It is very unlikely but at least there is still something to fight for in that return leg. Find more from Chloe Bloxam at The Redmen TV
