Liverpool 1 Vs Benfica 2. Video Highlights and Goals
Liverpool will need to trade on the away goal that they came away with against Benfica in a bad tempered match in the Europa League.
Daniel Agger slotted home a goal to give Liverpool an early lead, but they were soon pushed out of their comfort zone when Ryan Babel was sent off and they struggled to contain a fast and in form Benfica.
Rafa Benitez said:
“It was not a serious offence. I’m disappointed with the decision but we can’t change things now. “We have to move forward, prepare for the game and score the goal we need.”
“I prefer to be calm and be positive,” he insisted. “We made some mistakes but we have to be positive and think about the next game. The team was working very hard and with the fans behind us we can progress in the competition. The fans will be important at Anfield. Hopefully we will not need to push too hard, just push and play well and score goals.”
