Andy Robertson insists Liverpool squad are ‘all fighting for the same goals’

Liverpool defender Andy Robertson admits while competition for places is at its height within the squad there remains the collective determination to succeed.

The 2-0 win over Inter Milan in the San Siro put Jurgen Klopp’s side in a commanding position to secure a place in their fourth Champions League quarter-final in five years in next month’s second leg.

It maintains the club’s genuine challenge on four fronts, the first instalment of which comes a week on Sunday against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final.

A large factor in the win in Italy was the options Klopp had on the bench.

The half-time introduction of Roberto Firmino led to him making the crucial breakthrough, while midfielders Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita and £37.5m January signing Luis Diaz all came on after an hour to help turn the tide against an increasingly confident Inter side.

“He deserves it. Bobby is an incredible footballer. He was so happy he had scored and I thought the subs make a big difference,” said Robertson, who provided the corner for Firmino’s 75th-minute opener.

“We’re all fighting for the same spots but most importantly we are all fighting for the same goals. We all want success and we can only do that by working together.

“When you see the quality coming off the bench, it can turn the game and that’s what happened here.”

Until the goals a 0-0 draw looked like being the best result Liverpool could have hoped for having withstood some considerable pressure, especially after the interval.
