Andy Robertson provides Liverpool dressing room insight after Barcelona defeat

Yesterday night, Liverpool lost 3-0 in an away Champions League game against Barcelona. Ahead of the second leg, the Reds defender Andy Robertson has revealed that they have no time to feel sorry for themselves and are ready to overturn the tie. “We've no time to have a hangover now; we need to go strong into the Newcastle game first and we need to get our bodies ready and then go again because we can't let our foot off the gas,” he said. “We are near the end of the season but we've got three, hopefully four, games left. We need the three points and push them (City) the whole way. There can't be a hangover. Newcastle is our full concentration now. It's a strange one because we played well but we got beat 3-0 and it's baffling how that's happened. We didn't take out chances and they had a bit of luck with the second but that's what happens. “That's Messi, he's done it for many years now. Fair play to him, he's a world-class player and he conducts himself as a world-class player. I thought personally I did relatively well against him down their right-hand side but he scores two goals. So, for me that's not good enough clearly. I thought the second goal he scored was world-class. You could've had two keepers in and we wouldn't have saved it but that's what he can do.” “Unfortunately we got caught. Then of course if Mo scores – you can't criticise him for it but those are the fine margins. At 3-1 it is a lot better scoreline with an away goal. We need something special on Tuesday but if there is any place to do it it's Anfield," he added. “I think we have developed a really good team. We have fallen short but we can be proud of the performance and we just need that bit of luck. We are still young and will still learn and be better for it in years to come. “We can be proud of what we have done this season but we need one big, final push now - we have to think about Saturday first and foremost and then believe that we can do something special on Tuesday.” Second leg is scheduled on May 7 at the Anfield.
