Liverpool vs Inter Milan player ratings: Salah 6, Jota 4; Sanchez 2, Martinez 6

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said they deserved to go through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League despite Tuesday's 1-0 defeat by 10-man Inter Milan, but the German was not too pleased with his team's "slapstick" finishing.

Liverpool progressed with a 2-1 aggregate victory but Klopp's side squandered several chances in the second leg, with Joel Matip heading against the bar and Mohamed Salah hitting the post twice.

A superb drive into the top corner from Lautaro Martinez in the 62nd minute sealed the win for Inter and ended Liverpool's seven-match winning run in the competition but Klopp said the match was one his team could afford to lose.

"It's not that I'm over the moon - I'm really happy we went through, because when we saw the draw it was 'OK, that's a tough one'. But we went through over two legs and I think we deserved it," Klopp told reporters.

"It's a big 'if' but if we had used our chances from set pieces and other situations - it was a bit slapstick how we missed the chances - in the end we could still have won.

"But the only thing I'm interested in is that it's fair we are through."
