Klopp keeping calm after 'tricky' win over Inter

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists their 2-0 win over Inter Milan in their Champions League last-16 tie does not mean they can put their feet up for the home leg.

Late goals from Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah secured a fourth successive European away win for the first time since 2006 but this was by far the scrappiest.

"They played good, they played differently, but they are really good and that's why it is half-time, 2-0.

"If it is a proper half-time, Like today, if it was 2-0 at half-time I don't tell my boys 'Job done, put your legs on the table'.

"We will check it early tomorrow and we need further assessment but we have to see."

Klopp also praised his defence for the way they kept a clean sheet, their sixth in eight matches.

"We defended really well, the way you have to defend. We
