However, SunSport report that Jurgen Klopp was angry at Brazil star Neymar, claiming he dived during the game.

"You act like you die and the next moment you get up. It could be a yellow card. You could do that. Everybody's going down, it's not football anymore.

"We scored once and then it was clear they would struggle as they couldn’t have that intensity in the second half. We tried everything.

"A little hurdle was the 500,000 interruptions in the second half and the referee still thinks he did everything right.

"We are the fairest team in England but tonight we looked like butchers. They were always down and it looked like we used elbows. It was smart if you want, the ref let that happen.

"You can lose in Paris, but it still feels a bit rubbish and we have to use Anfield one more time. We are calling Anfield right now.”

Midfielder Jordan Henderson, suspended for Sunday’s derby with Everton, said: "I am disappointed because we feel we’re good enough to come here and win. It wasn’t our night but we kept going until the end.
