It was a wonderful Champions League quarter-final."Liverpool definitely deserved to score over the course of the game."Had we conceded a goal early on it would have been really difficult so you need things to go your way and it is wonderful to have these kind of players in the clubs and the fans as well, their support was extraordinary. We are happy to show them what we are made of."Enrique added: "Liverpool had to take a lot of risk and that meant we could launch a counter-attack and kill the match off."It took longer than I would have liked that to do."But we defended well, (Matvey) Safonov was instrumental and we controlled the controllables, but we knew they had to take a risk."As soon as we scored the first goal, that changed things."Before the game we knew we could find it tough and suffer at times but I think we managed the match really well."Choose Liverpool Echo as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCUEFA Champions League
